Pioneer’s 2008 Blu-ray Player Line Leaked
A source tells us that in May, Pioneer will announce two new Blu-ray players, including the Elite BDP-05FD you see above. Surprisingly, they won’t be Profile 2.0, just 1.1 (so PIP but no Ethernet), but they will have some other talents:
• Internal decoding of all high-res audio formats • 8-bit to 12-bit Deep Colour conversion • Picture control suite with nine new video adjustments, including four video noise reduction enhancements for customers seeking a more customised picture.
There’s no word on pricing yet, or if it includes features like audio codec bitstreaming, but we’re trying to find out more. Thanks Tipster X!

what is it with these players all looking like they were made in 1988? They look terrible!!! Has anyone heard of Modern styling? I wont be buying one, base upon that awful 1980’s styling!
at least the styling looks like all of the better Hi-FI gear made since 1988.
If it was version 2 id be interested. not too bothered. now if a PS3 was in a square box that looked more like my HI-FI stuff it wouldnt stand out so much. If I had a PS3 it would be used mainly for blue ray anyhow.
