Pioneer 2010 new product range

[Clare Newsome]

Had a quick catch-up with Pioneer UK, who tell me to expect a range of new Blu-ray players - including 3D Blu-ray - plus receivers, cinema systems etc from the summer. We'll get review kit in time to judge them for our Awards. Some hi-fi developments, too.

Please don't ask me any questions about pricing, models numbers, specs etc at this stage, as a) I know no more than the above and b) even if I did I couldn't tell you, as Pioneer is keeping details under wraps until an official launch in a few months' time.

Great news, they are still alive and kicking then, brilliant, look forward to it.

 

[Clare Newsome]

Very much alive and kicking - they're already planning 2011 ranges, too.

Crikey, now listen up pioneer we don't want no slim down version's this time thankyou very much, think bulkyness and muscle, like the 2008 range please, also don't be listen to those boys from Sharp just get the money from them and then tell the sharp lads to take it easy in the back room or something and then get down to some serious blu ray players please, nice one.

So how much did you say these pioneer blu ray players are going to cost Clare?

Only joking Clare

FFS gel, you could have told me Clare had already announced this BEFORE I gave my (now wildly innaccurate) speculation on Pioneer's AV plans...

Don't worry, it still would not surprise me if they went to the wall.

What on earth makes you say that? As I explained in a recent blog post, the company is now in more sound financial shape than it has been for ages...

I was just acknowledging what the_lhc said, nothing more, nothing less and everyone knows the global business situations, I do think they will be okay but i think it might take a while for pioneer to get back to there brilliant best, who knows how much money they have for manufacturing costs etc. like I said know I was just comforting the_lhc, that's all.

just av then no tellys ? or just giving training to panasonic on how to go deeper in blacks

 

[Andrew Everard]

No, no TVs. Pioneer has been out of the TV business for over a year now. And it's not "giving training to panasonic": Panasonic has taken on some of the TV engineers made redundant by Pioneer.

 

[Andrew Everard]

Just announced in the States: 5.1-channel Pioneer 3D-capable receivers starting from just $229, complete with PLIIz, Bluetooth music streaming and more. 7.1-channel models to follow in next few days, apparently. Full story here

 

[The_Lhc]

£150? Be very interested to see what price the UK equivalent comes out at. Certainly won't be that cheap, I shouldn't imagine it'll even be as cheap as £229 either...

I'm glad I spotted this, was just about to click buy on a BDP-LX52!!!! Think I'll hang fire now...any dates for blu-ray news Clare?

 

[Clare Newsome]

Summer for UK news/product, as stated up top. Though US news may break first, obv.
