Pioneer BDR-101A review

Verdict

Blu-ray takes another tentative step towards the mass market, but is now the time to buy?

Review Date: 20 Oct 2006

Price when reviewed: (£570 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
3 stars out of 6

We tried playing a Blu-ray movie on each of our drives, and failed each time. But LG, Pioneer and Sony reassured us that each drive will play films once a software update (from CyberLink, in the case of Sony and Pioneer) has arrived. We won't be dumping our DVD collection for quite some time yet.
