Remember when you thought your new Sony Blu-ray player was the bees’ knees? Well now Sony has a 3D Blu-ray player (and accompanying 5.1 channel speaker system). Don’t worry, though, there’s a 3D firmware upgrade for your old BDP.
Sony got serious about home-theatre Blu-ray at CES 2010, with a 3D, Wi-Fi, Netflix-powered monster with iPhone-app control. Sadly, the model we praised is now pointless. But two cheaper ones – the $US200 BDP-S470 and the $US250 BDP-S570 – are suddenly hot.
