With the competition of the market for high-definition movie discs still up in the air, Sony Corp. declared that it is including a small surprise with the new Blu-ray disc player it is shipping this week ,a price tag $100 lower than previously announced.

The review basically boils down to this: if you have a high definition TV larger than 42-inches, then you’ll definitely notice a difference between Blu-ray and standard or upscaled DVDs, and the Samsung does a good job delivering the picture quality that Blu-ray is capable of.The new player has essentially the same capabilities as the older BDP-S1 but is smaller.

Neither Blu-ray nor HD DVD players have caught on strongly with consumers, who have been waiting for the market to settle on one of the formats. But dropping prices for players and HDTV sets in more homes mean a big showdown between the discs may be looming this holiday season.

Most people buying Blu-ray discs are apparently buying them for their Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles. The cheapest version of the console costs $499, but its game-oriented wireless controller and relatively loud fan makes it a less than ideal movie player.
