CES 2010: Sony's new Blu-ray and home theater products (photos)

3D Blu-ray is one of the big stories at CES 2010, and it's no surprise that Sony is a major player in Blu-ray's next incarnation. Sony announced its first standalone 3D Blu-ray player, the BDP-S770, which also manages to integrate the best features of its current Blu-ray players.

In 2009, Sony's BDP-S560 had Wi-Fi, but limited streaming-media options; the BDP-N460 had tons of streaming-media options, but only Ethernet connectivity. The Sony BDP-S770 has the best of both players, so you'll have easy access to some instant gratification media when you're tired of wearing 3D glasses.

Sony says the BDP-S770 is coming this summer, but didn't announce pricing

3D Blu-ray may be getting all the buzz at CES 2010, but standard Blu-ray players are still the meat-and-potatoes of the home theater market. Sony announced two new standard Blu-ray players at CES 2010--the BDP-S370 and the BDP-S570--building on the streaming-media features of the BDP-N460.

We reviewed the Sony BDP-N460 just last month and were impressed with its wide variety of streaming-media content and the BDP-S570 addresses our biggest concern by adding built-in Wi-Fi.

Sony also released a step-down Blu-ray player, which includes essentially the same feature set as the BDP-S570, but loses the built-in Wi-Fi.

We knew 3D was coming, but we didn't expect it to be integrated into a home-theater-in-a-box (HTIB) system this quickly. Sony announced the BDV-HZ970W, a home theater system that features an integrated 3D Blu-ray player and a 5.1 speaker system with wireless rear speakers.

Sony surprised us by announcing a 3D-capable Blu-ray home-theater-in-a-box (HTIB) system at CES 2010, but the company also introduced several standard Blu-ray HTIBs, too.

The BDV-E770W is a 5.1  Blu-ray home theater system, that includes streaming content from Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand, Pandora, and others, plus it's Wi-Fi capable with the included USB dongle.

The BDV-E570 is the step-down to the BDV-E770W and includes most of the same features as the BDV-E770W, except it lacks built-in Wi-Fi and wireless rear speakers.

Sony also released images for the entry-level BDV-E370, but didn't release any additional information about its feature set.

Sony also introduced one Blu-ray-ready home-theater-in-a-box (HTIB) system at CES 2010. It's the successer to the HT-SS360 we reviewed last year, with a similar feature set, including three HDMI inputs, and is S-Air ready for wireless rear speakers (you need to purchase an additional S-Air transmitter).
