Pioneer's BDP-23FD, BDP-320 and BDP-120 now available in the United States
We first saw Pioneer's 2009 Blu-ray family at CES in January. Then we received some indication of pricing and an early release for Japan. Finally, after quite the wait, Pioneer's BDP-23FD, BDP-320 and BDP-120 Blu-ray players are available in the United States.
All three models are highly functional and Profile 2.0-compatible, differing only in the finer details. For instance, while the BDP-320 and BDP-23FD sport built-in flash memory, the BDP-120 instead includes a separate 1 GB SanDisk flash drive. The BDP-23FD or Elite BDP-23FD is the top-end of the three and includes features for custom installs. KURO Link Picture Mode and Precision Quartz Lock System Multi (PQLS) are two features unique to the Elite model, added so that Blu-ray playback would sync nicely with Pioneer A/V receivers and KURO flat panels.
All three players are now available. The BDP-23FD, BDP-320 and BDP-120 cost $599, $399 and $299, respectively.
