Sony is one of the premiere names in consumer electronics.

The Blue ray format is an evolutionary step over the DVD (digital video/versatile disc), with 10x the data capacity of its immediate predecessor. What this means is that you get more special features, digital surround sound audio, and amazing 1080p video that is nearly 7x the visual fidelity of DVD video. However, to enjoy Blue ray, you'll want a Blue ray player, and at the top of that list are Sony's Blue ray DVD players.

You can find all the popular movies on Blue ray, including 300, Casino Royale, and Bruce Almighty. Also, you can expect to find older movies start to be released on Blue ray as the format gains more popularity and it becomes even cheaper for studios to release movies on this next gen format.
