Sony network Blu-ray player spied at CEDIA

Why wait 'til October to get a peek at Sony's BRAVIA Internet features come to Blu-ray on the BDP-N460? Check them out right now in the following gallery, we got a good look at the future on the CEDIA show floor, though whether Sony delivering all new hardware or everyone else's strategy of upgrading existing players for Netflix, Amazon and other forms of streaming is the path to follow remains to be seen. The BDP-N460 should hit for about $250 starting next month.

Exactly, LOL! I thought they were saying "Spied at last CES but nobody noticed."

[Cheesus Crust Posted Sep 12th 2009 10:11PM]

Engadget is slow today, 2 hours and still no fix lol

What's the of having a networked OPTICAL media player, if you have to walk to it anyway to change the disc(s)????

I would LOVE one that would play media from shared network drives.
However I wil have to suffer with XBMC on my XBOX for now.

Other than it can't work with HD content, XBMC on Xbox cannot be called suffering. It's pretty much the Holy Grail of codec support combined with a fantastic UI.

CES! By the beard of Zeus. You time traveling Engadget geniuses!

I know what it's like to take pictures on a showfloor environment, but your roving reporters seem to need a refresher course (I doubt a cameraphone or a similar device was used, but if so ignore remarks =).

Prolly all boozed up.

I am in the market for new Sony Blu-ray player, but the network features are the same as my XBR9. I might just settle with another BDP-S360 as the price is falling on that model.

Unless this thing can stream all of the same codecs that the new Popcorn Hour can, from the PC, then this isn't a network player...

Same old Sony... They never change...

They' d rather throw them away than support .MKV...

They were probably the last company to support .MP3 (that KILLED their famous Walkman line and made the ipod a synonym to portable music player)...

Lack of codec support and various locks due to their movie/music industry affiliation really kills their players...

Wouldn't you just get a PS3 for $49 more?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 14th 2009 2:28PM]

Most adults do not want a PS3 as a BDP. That said, yes I would.
