Philips has launched the BDP 3000 Blu-ray media player. This new device by Philips shows that its not necessary for great players to cost too high.

This player has anything and everything that you would expect and may be even more.

The prime features of this player include 1080p 24fps full HD images, upscaling of existing DVDs to near 1080p HD quality, Dolby TrueHD 7.1 surround sound and BD Live (Profile 2.0) support for those web-based extras, along with USB connectivity, DivX compatibility, x.v.Colour technology which enhances the camcorder classics look. There is also a playback for photographs and music.

Available in the markets now, the player is priced at £169.
