Sony Blu-Ray DVD Player $1000

Sony announced it will sell their first stand-alone Blu-ray high definition player in July in the United States for $1000. The model name is BDP-S1 and it will use a HDMI display connector. It will also upscale normal DVDs to 1080p resolution. Sony also plays to include Blu-ray players on some models in their PC line. It's no wonder that the Playstation 3 is being delayed because it would totally cannibalize the stand-alone Blu-ray sales of $1000 a pop. PS3 as a videogame machine, can't really sell for more than $500.
