Sony, Pioneer Delay Blu-ray Players (Gamasutra)
Sony has updated the entry on its Sony Style website for the upcoming BDP-S1 Blu-Ray disc player to indicate that the hardware is now projected to launch "on or about August 15, 2006," and not on June 30, as was previously indicated. In addition, Pioneer Elite's BDP-HD1 Blu-ray has suffered a similar setback, being delayed from July to September. These delays leave just Samsung's $999 BD-P1000
