Sub-$200 Blu-ray players certainly
aren't new -- heck, some guys have been doing it
since the year 2008 -- but you'll never catch us kvetching about a little more competition.
JVC has today introduced (in the briefest way possible, might we add) its newest Blu-ray player just ten months after
deciding to play the BD game here in the States. The ultrathin (and "now available") XV-BP11 should slide into just about any AV rack, bringing Blu-ray / DVD playback, AVCHD support, HDMI 1.3, a USB socket and compatibility with a slew of audio formats. Curiously enough, the outfit doesn't bother to mention if this thing is Profile 2.0, but we're guessing (read: hoping) that it wouldn't do something as ludicrous as charge two bills for a Profile 1.1 deck in late 2009. Then again, we've seen
zanier things go down...
Update: Ouch -- this thing
is only Profile 1.1. Dud. [Thanks, Aaron!]
