Sharp Blu-ray player coming this fall

[TurboNutter]

Does anyone know or has heard anything about Sharp's Blu-ray player? I saw the picture of it on here and it looks great. There is nothing on their website about it.

Yes, it's looking very nice but they will ship only when they want to from the financial point of view. I think around new year we will see other manufacturers releasing players, philips, sharp, mitsubishi etc

From the article:

Bruce Tripido, Sharp Entertainment Products Division senior director and group leader, said the company expects to introduce its first Blu-ray Disc player in the United States this fall, and that the player would have full 1,080p HDMI output capability. However, no other details were currently available.

“Sharp is one of the co-owners of Blu-ray Disc technology, and we expect to launch in 2006 the most attractive model — the slimmest in height — in the market,” said Tripido.

Freakin awesome. I'm totally thinking about a Sharp Aquos 65-in with a Sharp Blu-ray player. Now if I can only rummage up $10 - 15,000!

Maybe next Christmas 1080P sets will have come down in price.

I thought I saw a mockup of this player at CES 2006. If so it is indeed slim. Must be using 2nd generation technology.

I'm not keen on the "TrueHD" hype but that's just marketing.
