Philips has announced that they will bring an entry-level Blu-ray Disc player to China in order to better compete with the budget minded CBHD format. Currently, the format - which is an offspring of HD DVD - only has two manufacturers supporting it and one Hollywood studio. Philips hopes that by releasing a player closer to the price of CBHD players, it will sway consumers on the edge about which high definition format to support.
When the player launches, it will retain for 2,000 yuan (US$293).
