Sharp's BD-HP20S not coming to America -- resume waiting for BD-HP10U
It figures, doesn't it? Nearly every time we hear "cheap" and "high-definition player" in the same phrase, the news either turns out to be completely and utterly false, relates solely to HD DVD, or in the most recent case of the BD-HP20S, is not suited for American homes. As fate would seemingly have it, we're now hearing that Sharp's briefly anticipated no-fills Blu-ray player will be reserved for Japan, and according to PCWorld, it won't be making its way stateside "anytime soon." Sadly, that means we must all resume waiting for the nearly forgotten BD-HP10U, which was mentioned way back at CES but has hardly been heard from since. Ah well, at least you can snag a PS3 and five Blu-ray flicks for a mere $500 now, right?
