Full press release here.

Pioneer Electronics will launch its first out-of-the-box-BD Live Blu-ray Disc players, as well as its first mass-market-priced model in May.

Considering current market conditions and falling technology prices, Pioneer felt now the time was right to expand beyond its current core elite market focus. Its BDP-120 will be priced at less than $300 and will ship with a 1GB flash drive for external content storage. It will automatically be able to playback Web-enabled features without the need for firmware upgrades. More…

5 times the picture quality of standard definition, providing you with pictures that are sharp and crystal clear.

But then alas we have the ultimate sin of High Definition confusion from who ever wrote the description,

The connections for the DV-BD1000 Blu Ray Player are a treat and using the scart connection you can link to other devices such as a TV, DVD player or games console to enhance your home entertainment.

Scart? Scart? Huh? How the hell are the general public ever going to understand Hi Def TV and Film when they’re confused at point of purchase by the retailer?

Anyway basic specs

• - Profile version 1.1
• - Upgradeable to BDLive-additional content
• - 5 times picture quality than standard def
• - 7.1 channel surround sound
