SONY BDP-S560 with wireless modem like the PS3
So Sony has decided to introduce a new Blu-ray player in July, the BDP-S560, which will have a built-in wireless modem like the PS3. Sony has worked closely with Cisco to make connection easy with Linksys Wireless G and N model routers, but the players will obviously work with other brands as well.
You simply use the player's remote to activate its network detection mode and then press the 'sync' button on the Linksys router - the connection is made automatically. Here's something else that's cool - the S560 will feature a "six second access" feature that will let you access the extras on your Blu-ray titles much more quickly than ever before. The new player (which will feature all the other video/audio/online features that are now standard on the format) will sell for around $349. (There will also be a lower-priced model, the S360, available for around $300 - it will include the "six second" feature but no wireless.)
If consumer response is strong, look for these features to be added on more Sony players down the line. (We've heard that other manufacturers are expected to begin adding wireless modems to their players soon as well.) The goal, of course, is to make accessing BD-Live content so easy it's a no brainer for consumers.
