Blu-Ray player? That's so 2008. They might as well build in a reel to reel. In a few more years we won't be discussing or using discs nearly enough to warrant a serious investment so why would you want to throw your money away now? It's like buying a horse and cart when there are already cars on the street!

I'm not saying they're not useful today, but think of the timescale of a B&O investment! Let's just say that if we made one it would be $2,500, now go spend that money upgrading your speakers!

....................... so just make a half-4rsed attempt and shove any old player in your new £12K BV7- MKIV!

They should make a beomaster 5 with a blu ray player integrated. So it could be used as a blu ray player , a harddiskrecorder and the normal functions of the beomaster 5

Oh yes, I would love a BeoSound 3200 with a built in blu-ray player, mind you I would be a bit worried as im sure it would be sourced from Samsung - fabulous for lcd panels but not so hot for other things.

A word on caution however, I baught a DVD1 in 2005 and feel so completed ripped off by it - £750 for a dam dvd player not cool especially as its had a quirky fault from day 1 whereby you will be watching a movie and for some strange reason it decides to repeat a chaper instead ofmoving onto the next one! Very very very overpriced box in my opinion so much so that ive left it at my Aunts and I use a Sony BDP-S360 blu-ray player. I love B&O however I feel that i was completely ripped off with this purchase. I think they make amazing TV's, some loudspeakers and some Hi-Fis but their other products are a bit like Gucci bags!

Reusing the "old" design of the Beosound 3200 would be almost better than using the "design" of the HDR 2!

What we need is an external Blueray-Player with integrated Harddisk for recording HD-signals from TV, because non of the B&O-TV´s can offer an internal harddisk (expect BV 9 with integrated HDR 2, but this only with analog tuner).

Why not put a blueray-player and a harddisk into a beosound 3200-case, this would be very nice!

If they do make such a product I just hope that they make it a real B&O product, like the BC2, and not like the rebadged philips recorder HDR2, which has no design, is way to bulky and just plain boring.

We all agree that B&O produces some timeless pieces, but I think it would be a shame to reuse an old design.

Of course some of you might disagree, but that is my view.

When can we expact BeoVision with larger screens, 50'' and more? I also think B&O should put out an external BluRay player or update BeoCenre 2 with ith as they do not have any solution for BV9, VB 10, BV 4, BV 7 32'' except BV 7 40/55''.
