The price for the Panasonic DMP-BD10 will be below $1,500 (way to high, if you ask me) and will be shipping in fall together with the first 1080p Panasonic Plasma HDTVs.
The Panasonic DMP-BD10 features EZ-Sync HDAVI control function, which makes it simple to connect and control multiple products, such as a Panasonic Plasma TV, Blu-ray Disc player and receiver.
That is all the detail Panasonic released so far about their Blu-ray disc player. The press-release available in the Panasonic press-room.

As reported the Sony Blu-ray Disc player is available for pre-order under $1,000 and will ship in July.
