Panasonic has just announced it will soon launch the manufacturer's, and the industry's, first HD home theater which will feature a Blu-ray player, a receiver and a speaker system, according to Hardware Zone.

It seems that the Blu-ray supporting companies, more than 170, are starting to release more and more dedicated products, in order to detonate any chance the rival HD DVD format might benefit from.

As a result, Sony launched this month the first Blu-ray notebook, Samsung - a Blu-ray player, and also movies were released on Blu-ray media by Sony Pictures.

But if Samsung's dedicated player will be purchased at approximately $1000, a high price, but still an 'almost' affordable one, Panasonic's HD home theatre is said to come out at about $5,300.

And you should consider the fact that, if you decide to buy the manufacture's latest development, you will have to purchase also a supportive TV set, and, consequently, the Blu-ray investment will total almost or more than $ 10,000.

The company's representatives said that, starting September, the manufacturer will ship on the retail market a $1300 Blu-ray player, a $1000 receiver and a $3000 speaker system. However, even if they will be sold separately, maybe because together would have blown up the customers mind and pocket, the products are developed to perfectly work together in order to deliver an enhanced image display and great sound.

"Each has been designed to optimize the benefits of Blu-ray Disc technology when integrated with Panasonic's plasma HDTVs," the company representatives stated during a press conference. The manufacturer suggested that the best completion of the system would be the upcoming plasma display - TH-65PX600 65 - which will really hit the market in September, as it is priced at no less than $8000.
