Today at its press conference at CES, Sony introduced three new Blu-ray players, including the BDP-S790, which offers support for 4K resolution upscaling.
For TVs that support it, the player can upscale Blu-rays to a resolution of 3840 x 2160. The BDP-S790, along with the BDP-S590, offer web connectivity for Netflix, Pandora, HuluPlus Amazon VOD, Crackle, as well as Sony's own Video and Music Unlimited services. Additionally, all of the new players have access to Sony's new Socialize platform, which allows users to post to Twitter or Facebook.
Finally, the company introduced the BDP-SX910, a portable Blu-ray player with an integrated 9-inch screen with up to four hours of battery life.

So Sony will be telling people to get 3 jobs then ? Don't you think Sony learned their lesson after telling people to get a 2nd job ?

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Haha, yeah right. I don't think the PS3 made a profit until 5 years after it came out.

Sony Dude - We are pleased to announce the PS4 for 2014 (or w/e)

Audience - Cheers

Sony Dude - It will cost you $1,000

Audience - Boos & some curse words

Sony Dude - Get a second job & if you already have a second job & then get a third one & so on

Audience - Leaves
