hey hey its blu-ray
While the PS3 lacks a release date (which seems to grow further and further away as analysts continue to weigh in with their pessimism) blu-ray video does.
On May 23, Samsung will launch its BD-P1000 video player and movies from Sony Pictures and MGM will hit the street.
Details on the BD-P1000 (which is shipping about a month behind the previously announced schedule) are as follows (per The Register)
The BD-P1000 will pump out HD content at 720p or 1080i resolutions, Samsung said. Supported audio formats include 192KHz LPCM, Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, MPEG 2, DTS, and MP3. The machine will play users' existing DVD and CD libraries, along with content stored on DVD-RAM and DVD±R/RW discs, and it has a memory card reader capable of taking Compact Flash, XD, Micro Drive, SD, MMC and RS-MMC, and MemoryStick and Memory Stick Duo cards. Ports built into the device include CVBS Output, S-Video Output, component output, HDMI, and both digital and analog audio outputs.
