Toshiba Releases BDX2000 Blu-Ray Player

Toshiba was one of the last companies to admit defeat in the HD DVD vs Blu-ray format wars. Recently, Toshiba has released their first stand alone Blu-ray player, which is less than the original MSRP. The BDX2000 may have reduced its price in order to compete with other leading Blu-ray companies, but even for that price it's not really a deal. The main reason why is because many of the other players come with integrated internet connectivity and also Netflix streaming. There is no telling how well or how poorly Toshiba’s BDX2000 will do in the upcoming holiday season, but there is hope.

This new player can even hook up to a REGZA LCD TV through HDMI, displaying full high definition content using a solitary remote control thanks to the REGZA-LINK function. Other features of the BDX2000 include:

• BD-Live (Profile 2.0)
  
• 1080p/ 24 fps Full HD Video Output
  
• AVCHD Playback
  
• Toshiba REGZA-LINK (HDMI-CEC)
  
• Support for enhanced audio formats from Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio
  
• Bonus View
  
• SD Card Slot
  
• ENERGY STAR Certified
