July 1 - The very highly anticipated Blu-ray player from Onkyo now has a general release date. In an announcement from Onkyo, they detail a release date sometime in “late 2008″.

There are only very scant details about the product itself, except that it will support Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound formats with 1080p video playback.

Onkyo had previously thrown their lot in with the now defunct HD DVD camp, making some very quality HD DVD players. These high-performance HD DVD players have served to generate quite a stir about the potential quality of an Onkyo Blu-ray player, making this one of the more highly anticipated products of 2008 among home theater enthusiasts.

There is no confirmed price or further specs available at the moment.

May 20 - There are quite a few Blu-ray releases coming out today, with a few titles that could be pretty excellent. Personally, V for Vendetta and Short Circuit are movies I have been looking forward to for some time.

May 19 - Wal-Mart is trying to give the struggling Blu-ray adoption rates a big shot in the arm. On May 26, Wal-Mart will begin selling a $300 Blu-ray player.

This player is a Profile 1.1 Funai Blu-ray player that will have PIP (Picture-in-Picture) functionality.

For Wal-Mart’s purposes, this player has been rebranded as a Magnavox. Blu-ray adoption rates haven’t been quite as high as many people predicted, due in large part to the rather expensive nature of the associated hardware.

A low cost Blu-ray player will go a long way in terms of helping stimulate sales. If prices can drop even further, or more retailers decide to carry this inexpensive player, then Blu-ray may be able to get some significant traction against DVD as the primary physical media delivery medium.
