Blu-ray News – EngadgetHD Triple Header

For the tall price of $1,000, you can get ahold of Pioneer's next gen Elite BR player. It appears to do everything right in the video and sound department, however, no word if it supports 1080p/24 and BD-J.

Additionally, this device features an "enhanced version of Pioneer's Home Media Gallery home networking feature," which includes IP networking and a new user interface to access media files stored on their computer. The BDP-94HD should hit US shelves this month and will purportedly include two mystery BD films for a nice round $1,000.

Also ready for release, is the nicely price $600 Blu-ray player from Pansonic. Incuded in the price is 6 movies, advanced sound CODEC support (TrueHD and DTS-HD), BD-J, 1080p.

otably, Panasonic is giving users two reasons to seriously considering its new offering, as the fairly reasonable $599.95 pricetag looks even better when you consider the five BD films (Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Transporter, Fantastic Four, and Crash) you'll be getting right in the box.

Also in the news, Sony plans to remaster The Fifth Element. It is good to know that Sony is listening, however, I don't imagine they are going to provide a discount for the people who bought the first version.

When the title was announced on Blu-ray, many were very excited to own such a great looking HD movie, but then were very disappointed by almost every aspect of the Blu-ray disc. Well, it finally seems that Sony is ready to admit its mistake and re-release the title on July 17th, but hopefully they'll do it right this time.
