14 DAY TRIAL // The modern day concept of a digital home implies having many things, any when I say many, that's what I mean. First you must have the 50-inch LCD TV, a security system that allows you to see everything that goes on the property, both in and outside, a remote control that, well, controls the lights, window blinds, TV, doors, alarm, an even flushing the water at the toilet. Then you must accessorize, have bodyguards with dogs to secure the perimeter around the house and each dog must have GPS tracking so that it doesn't go off and bites on any of your guests. Of course, you shouldn't forget the satellite dish on the house and a high-end gaming computer with wide-screen LCD monitors and all the necessary accessories placed in every room.
But, then again, what is a digital home without a high-definition player? Well, it's not a true digital home. But Blu-ray or HD-DVD players cost so much and you want to keep the expenses down, so what do you do? You go out and buy Pioneer's latest creation, the BDC-S02 Blu-ray player. The guys thought that their only chance to have any attention from the general public, with all of the different Blu-ray manufacturers and the competition from HD-DVD drives, was to have a really, really low priced model. When I say low priced, I mean $299 low priced.
Now don't actually expect to buy it with that price on the market, it's too good of a deal, a bargain I might call it, that is the MSRP price, which would add some taxes from different dealers, but one thing is for sure, they won't add another extra $200 price tag "for taxes", so you could get it for a little over $300. The player can playback BD-ROM, BD-R, BD-R DL, BD-RE, BD-RE DL disks and DVDs and CDs. It can also record BD-R and BD-RE disks.
