Banzai! Blurbies!

Banzai Beat forums going away
I want to thank everyone for making the forums fun. But due to spammers I just don't want to deal with it. They make hundreds of accounts and spam the living hell out of the forums.

so on that note I'm taking them offline due to very little use and I'm not watching my bandwidth bill be sucked up my spammers.

Thanks again and look forward to a new episode in the coming days.

Profile 2.0 Blu-ray players by Sony confirmed

Both the upcoming Sony models, the BDP-S350 and the BDP-550, support BonusView and BD-Live. Both also feature an external port for local storage, but only the BDP-S550 includes a 1GB storage device. The BDP-S550 also differentiates itself with dts-HD High Resolution Audio and dts-HD Master Audio decoding as well as 7.1 channel analog audio output.

Never mind about the funny terms. Bonusview means Picture-in-picture view (PIP) and BD-Live means it incorporates an Ethernet port for firmware updates and web content.

The price? The BDP-S350 will retail this summer for about $400 and BDP-S550 will be available this fall for about $500.

This just proves that the PS3 is the way to go for completely upgradeable firmware and features.

And what the hell is the point of 1GB of storage?

I’m guessing the 1GB mandatory storage is for faster access times since reading off of any type of internal storage (RAM, flash or even regular magnetic drive) will be faster than reading off of any optical disc. I think the profile doesn’t define the type of storage as long as it is 1GB or more.
