Sony has launched the new BDP-S470 stand-alone Blu-ray 3D-ready player. The Sony BDP-S470 will be able to show 3D video in Full HD 1080p, when a firmware update is released in the summer, of course you will need a 3D capable HDTV to view it in 3D. “Consumer excitement for 3D is unbelievably high and Sony is poised to deliver the best possible in-home experience,” said Sony home division VP Chris Fawcett, in a statement.

The BDP S470 uses Sony’s new monolithic Bravia design, and of course hooks up with Sony’s Bravia Internet Video (that includes Amazon Video On Demand, You Tube, Netflix, Slacker, and more) and Internet-enabled BD-Live content—although you’ll have to do that via wired Ethernet unless you buy a separate USB-based wireless adapter. The player sports Sony’s Entertainment Database Browser (powered by Gracenote) for IDing discs, movies, and CDs, and offers 1080p up scaling from standard-resolution DVDs. Of course, Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio are on board too. The unit powers on in about three seconds, so there’s less waiting around for equipment to get ready. The model can be upgraded to play Blu-ray 3D content with a firmware update available this summer. The Sony BDP-S470 will be available later this month in the US for about $200.
