Panasonic BD50Want a truly future-proof Blu-Ray player? Panasonic’s latest model is exactly what you need. It’s ready equipped with BD-Live features, and one of the few Profile 2 players around.

Aside from the PlayStation 3, it’s one of the few telly companions ready to play back discs with BD-Live features. That means it’s ready to grab new video content from the web, serve up in-movie chat and e-mail as well as letting you play games against other people with the same disc.

Excited? You should be. The potential for BD-Live is massive. New trailers, sneak peeks at sequels and on-demand comentaries not found on the disc itself are all planned by movie studios, but you’ll need a top notch player to make the most of them.

That’s exactly what Panasonic’s DMP-BD50 represents. Inside are circuits to decode sound in full 7.1 surround, as well as spitting out full HD images at 24p.

It’s also compatitble with the latest HDMI 1.3 connectors, allowing deep colour, and there’s even an SD card on the front so it’ll play back photos or HD video from a camera or camcorder.
