Daewoo surprised everyone by unveiling a Blu-ray player supporting Profile 2.0, which means that the player supports picture-in-picture (PiP) functionality, as well as web-enabled interactivity (BD-Live). The player comes in two models, the DBP-1000 and DBP-2000, with the only difference being that the DBP-1000 comes with a blue-hued front and the DBP-2000 comes in black. The players, which come in a 55mm slim design (2.17 inches), feature 1080p/24, HDMI 1.3 and are backwards compatible with DVD and CD.

The Daewoo representative said that they plan to release it worldwide in Q1 2008, possibly as early as January. As for the price they could only give ballpark figures, but they basically said way less than $1,000 and that it could be less than $500.
mmmm mmmy precccious!!!! its so beautifoooooool!!! I think they upscaled it, I dpnt think Daewoo out of all reputable CE electronics company would have Starwars on BD before anyone else....
I'm skeptical about spending any amount of money on a product made by Daewoo. Literally the only thing they are known for is making extremely inexpensive versions of other peoples products..including cars!
I can't wait till they announce the price and I hope it is priced between $299-$399. BTW if its a Star Wars BD HD-DUD better watch out. I doubt it I just think it is being upscaled to show off the quality of the upscaler which must be damn good.
