Blu-ray is scheduled to hit the US market on May 23 with one player, the $1,000 Samsung BD-P1000 shown in January, and a small selection of movies. Titles include 50 First Dates, The Fifth Element, House of Flying Daggers, The Last Waltz, Resident Evil Apocalypse, Crash, and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The June line-up includes Kung Fu Hustle, Robocop, Species, SWAT and Terminator. (Kenji Mizoguchi fans have been predictably ignored -- not enough explosions, I guess.)
It looks as though old movies with cost $30 each while new(ish) ones will cost $40.
The IDG News Service, Tokyo Bureau, has more details here.
There's no announcement about the PlayStation 3's arrival in the US, but it's very unlikely to appear before November/December.
