Hot on the heels of Sony'sfirst sub-$200 internal Blu-ray Disc drive comes news from Funai of a sub-$300 standalone Blu-ray player.
The NB500 series will initially sell in the North American market from the second quarter of 2008, and will support BonusView. Though Funai say that their player "will allow consumers to fully enjoy the Blu-ray Disc HD experience" there are no specifications yet to suggest just how feature-packed the player will be.
Hopefully by the summer a lot more manufacturers will be pushing down the price of their Blu-ray offerings.
