Sony Insider comments last night

[JimPullan]

Greetings Forum Members,

Last night I had a conversation with a significant executive within Sony who conveyed "the delay on entering the Blue-Ray BDP-S1 revolves around HDMI 1.3 spec's and H264/AVC/mpeg4 vs. VC-1 issues, now nearly resolved."

This person also stated that "Sony has one shot of capturing this market segment, and they will not introduce this Player until it is 'perfect' . The player will satisfy even the most techno-freek who focuses on the finite details. It's been a difficult road and the introduction of the 'perfect' player is still targeted for store introduction mid-October, in time for the Holiday season."

So, take this for what it's worth. Felt compelled to share this with you. I just wish I was as technical as you guys are and asked questions you would have been interested in knowing the answer. I'm more of a marketing, advertising and sales guy . . . not a technician or engineer. Sorry !!!
