According to gameindustry.biz, Sony has once again pushed back the launch of their Blu-ray Disc player, the BDP-S1. Originally scheduled to ship in June, the BDP-S1 will now hit store shelves on October 25th.
The first Blu-Ray player from Sony, the BDP-S1, has been pushed back to an October 25th release date - meaning that the firm's consumer Blu-Ray product line will not appear until only weeks before the arrival of the PlayStation 3.
The BDP-S1 had most recently been scheduled for a mid-August launch date, and the new delay of over two months puts the release of the player curiously close to the PlayStation 3 - which will be appearing only weeks later in mid-November.
I can't imagine too many people rushing out to buy a BDP-S1 when they can pick up a PS3 for considerably less. Then again, in some twisted way, that may be Sony's intentions. Anyway, if you'd like to read more, the entire article can be found here.
