Sydney, Australia, August 25, 2011 – LASER Corporation, IT and consumer electronics accessories company, today unveiled its latest Blu-ray player (BLU-BD1080) with BD Live 2.0. With 2011 turning out to be the year for Blu-ray, the LASER Blu-ray player presents all the coveted features of Blu-ray at an affordable price. As content becomes increasingly available, flat panel televisions are more reasonably priced and quality hardware is within means. Blu-ray is growing to be within reach and LASER is now offering everyone access to a Blu-ray player.

With 1080p full high definition video and supreme surround sound, the LASER Blu-ray player outclasses other home video formats and offers an extraordinary viewing experience. In addition to superb screenings, the LASER Blu-ray player incorporates BD Live 2.0 which allows users to download additional content for BD Live movies simply with an internet connection. Typically, when purchasing DVDs or Blu-ray discs, they come with a certain amount of extra features – with BD Live 2.0, users can participate and add elements beyond what comes with a disc.

The LASER Blu-ray player includes DVD upscaling (480 to 720 / 1080) and is DVD region free, meaning it has the capability to better match the performance with high definition televisions and there are no limitations of the DVD drive region settings.
