Sonys first Blu Ray player delayed again

Thursday 22 Jun 2006 : 18:24 PM



The release of Sony's first Blur Ray player in the US has been delayed again to 25th of October.

When you consider that HD-DVD drives have been out for a couple of months and that this is only a couple of weeks before the release of the PS3 this cannot be good news for Sony, who really aren't having a good time at the moment.

The unit is supposed to retail at $995 , which is nearly double the price of the Playstation 3, which makes us wonder why anybody would buy one ? unless Sony have really lost the plot and their PR department are doing this so that the PS3 looks like a bargain ? Even Sony aren't crazy enough to release a product which they deliberately don;t want to sell, just to make another product look cheap, are they ?
