The Register: Samsung has finally spoken up over rumours it may drop the BD-P2400 Blu-ray Disc player from its range, confirming that the machine will no longer make it to market.
The BD-P2400 was designed to sit in between the low-end Blu-ray only BD-1400 and high-end HD DVD and Blu-ray BD-UP5000, all three of which were recently unveiled at the IFA show in Berlin.
However, the South Korean giant has since confirmed that “the BD-P2400 was removed from the 2007 holiday line-up” after an assessment of its product line-up, a number of websites report.
It’ll now focus on the 5.1-channel sound BD-P1400, which doesn’t offer upscaling of standard-definition pictures, and the BD-UP5000 with 7.1-channel sound and upscaling technology.
