DailyTech, October 23, 2006 — It was discovered by an AVS Forum poster that Sonys Blu-ray Disc Player BDP-S1 has been pushed back to a target availability of “On or about December 4, 2006,” marking the third delay for the product. This is small proof that Sony is indeed suspending shipments of blue diode lasers for Blu-ray movie players in favor of PlayStation 3 manufacturing story, despite the fact that BDP-S1 will retail for a more profitable $999.95. from www.hardwarezone.com
