Sony bdporter Cabinet Revealed

Tweet

Sony announced a new fully-packed home theater cabinet that comes already filled with a bunch of high-end Sony AV gear. The cabinet comes with everything you need for high-def on the go, as it includes a Blu-Ray Player, a high-def projector, headphones, active speakers, and a 60-inch projector screen.

Sony is targeting two markets with the bdporter, one being business people, who could give high def presentations easily with the cabinet and roll it from storage to meeting room to meeting room. Not sure why a business would need a Blu-Ray player or headphones.

The other market for the bdporter is private use for home users, but Sony’s press release shows a strange picture of the bdporter in a hotel room, as if a user would want to lug around an expensive AV cabinet around with them to a hotel. I suppose if you want an HD Blu-Ray experience, you have to pay the price. Speaking of price, Sony is asking a steep $7,700 for the cabinet (and all the included equipment) and the cabinet will come in four different styles. Currently, it’s only in Japan.
