LAS VEGAS--3D Blu-ray may be getting all the buzz at CES 2010, but standard Blu-ray players are still the meat-and-potatoes of the home theater market. Sony announced two new standard Blu-ray players at CES 2010--the BDP-S370 and BDP-S570--building on the streaming media features of the BDP-N460.

Key features of the Sony BDP-S370:

  • HDMI 1.4 output
  • Access to the Bravia Internet Video platform, which includes Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube, Pandora, Slacker, and NPR streaming capability
  • Ethernet jack
  • DLNA compliant (with firmware update); capable of sharing photos, music and videos from a connected PC
  • Front panel USB port
  • Browse actor and movie information via Gracenote
  • Control via iPhone/iPod Touch
  • SACD-compatible
  • Onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio
  • Available in the spring of 2010, no pricing announced

Key step-up features of the Sony BDP-S570:

  • Built-in Wi-Fi
  • Streaming video noise reduction
  • Available in the spring of 2010, no pricing announced

We reviewed the Sony BDP-N460 just last month and were impressed with its wide variety of streaming media content and solid Blu-ray playback performance. The BDP-S570 addresses our biggest concern by adding built-in Wi-Fi, with the BDP-S370 presumably offering a cheaper option for those content with Ethernet.

Sony also introduced a 3D Blu-ray player at CES 2010, the BDP-S770.

The following products mentioned are available.

Netflix? No mention of the Playstation Video Store? Does this mean that Sony's given up on its own online video store, or is restricting it to only the PS3 and PSP? Is this a case of a company built of too many stovepipes?

I feel like sony is trying to monopolize the market or is it they going to follow toyota foot step.
many of their bd player that they describe in the feature page doesn't list it in the the spec.
I went to sony web site and made the comparison. I feel decieve, don't if I buy something that
they said but doesnt come with it.
