Several news sources have reported that Sony is delaying the release of its BDP-S1 Blu-ray player - for the third time. Originally due for launch almost six months ago, the benchmark player will now hit the shelves in December - after the US and Japan launch of PS3. It seems Sony may be stockpiling Blu-ray components for its next-gen games machine at the expense of other hardware.
Although other manufacturers of Blu-ray products have made it to market, Sony is the guiding force behind the HD standard. The company's problems with its own format probably haven't earned it many points in the war with HD DVD.
