Sharp announced two new Blu-ray players at the CES 2009. The BD-HP22U and BD-HP16U are third-generation players and have a retail price of $300 and $280 respectively.
Both players feature full HD 1080p digital output and are BD-Live capable. The BD-Live feature delivers additional content such as scenes not available on the disc, as well as other types of interactive content and even games, through an Ethernet-enabled Internet connection.
The new players support HDMI 1.3 and are practically identical, except for the HP22U which boasts 2GB of memory to store downloaded BD-Live content.
The BD-HP22U will be available in May and the BD-HP16U in March.
