"Sigmatek is joining the legion of Blu-ray manufacturers with its newest player, the SBR-1000. Coming in at a price of under &amp;euro;250 ($364), it'll be the cheapest Blu-ray player available in Europe -- compared to the &amp;euro;369 ($537) BDP-S300 -- when it launches in April. We're assuming this player supports at least Profile 1.1 / Bonus View features, to go along with the confirmed 1080p/24, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and HDMI 1.3 support. The low price is credited to Sony and Nichia's new cheaper blue laser, which should lead to similar new price floors here in the U.S. sooner rather than later.[Via Blu-ray.com]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
