The BDX2000 hooks up to your HD TV through an HDMI connection, while the player’s other features include DivX and AVCHD playback, picture-in-picture, and support for Dolby TrueHD audio.
Toshiba’s BDX2000 will be available in the UK during December, but a price hasn’t been announced. ®

"BD Live profile 2.0 is supported on the unit – enabling you to" have your expensive blue ray player bricked by the film industry remoetly, or rendered unable to play some media, with no recourse.

One thing is guaranteed.
This will be better than anything produced by Sony.
