Looks like Sony is almost ready to roll out some new Blu-ray changers!

The Sony 200- and 400-disc Blu-Ray changers will likely be hitting markets soon. They were unveiled at CEDIA, but no official date was announced. The Sony BDP-CX960 will hold 200 discs and the BDP-CX7000ES will hold 400. When the players are finally released, they will likely have BD-Live capabilities and possibly hard drives, and will both be HDNA compliant. There is still no official launch date from Sony, but a Swiss retail site has the Sony BDP-CX7000ES listed for the equivalent of $2,250 USD.

Damn wish I had the money to get this 400 disc changer. That would take care of my storage problem. The player will download and show the cover artwork.... sweet.... here is a link to more info on the Sony ES BDP-CX7000ES:

Crutchfield has the Sony ES BDP-CX7000ES listed for $1899.99.... Two of these players would take care of all my storage capacity....

Wow. A couple thousand dollars to save a few seconds on changing out a disk.

I can see the value in a unit like this. I could not however justify the purchase of one. It would be nice to browse your collection on screen. I wonder if it will load all the JAVA and keep it on file for quicker operation. Also will you be able to hook two of these togather and have them work with each other or would they be independant players?

According to the Sonystyle website, both players hold 400 discs. The 7000ES-version costs $1,900, while the 960-version costs $800. Have a look here:

A nice feature of their website is that you can hit the 'compare'-boxes and see which one is best for you, for the price. You'll have to expand the topics a few times, but it is easy to see the differences (grey-line is different, blue-line is identical).

Edit: I recall reading somewhere that you can hook-up 4 of them together on one output. If you have 5 hdmi ports on your A/V-receiver, for example, you could have 5 of those daisy-chains adding up to 20 changers containing 8,000 discs .
