Pioneer's new Blu-Ray player, the BDP-LX70

It has almost been a year since the first generation Blu-ray players hit the market, and we're already starting to see second generation players; well the Pioneer BDP-LX70 is most certainly a new model, but we're not sure if it's second gen or not. The BDP-LX70 is currently only listed on Pioneer's Eurpean site and although HD DVD originally annouced their second generation players in Europe, they looked completly different from the first gen. Not only does the LX70 looks alot like the HD1, but the features are also very similar; in fact other than having a Dolby TrueHD decoder built in, it doesn't seem to have any other new features. The latest must have feature -- HDMI 1.3 -- isn't specifically mentioned, but what is mentioned, is the fact that an "HD audio bitstream output player" is already set to replace this model. Second gen or not, Blu-ray fans in Europe are about to get a new option in June when this new player hits the street, but no word on a price.

Wag lang sana by 2010, harharhar.  Seriously, by that time, Blu-Ray or HD may be supplanted by new technology, and will be rendered obsolete

^^ same here, i'll use my PS3 as a Blu-Ray player till the prices of Pioneer's stand-alone Blu-Ray players are more reasonable.

same thing when the DVD players first came out.  Expensive talaga.

Pioneer Introduced the BD-LX70A




Coming off the success of their BD-LX70, Pioneer has announced that they will soon debut the next generation of Blu-ray players - the LX70A. The player will differ from the current model mostly with its additional audio support. The LX70A will allow for the passing of bitstream data (via HDMI v1.3) for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Pioneer expect the player to be on store shelves sometime in October. No price has been set at this time.
