Sony has announced the release of its first new 4K Blu-ray player, the UBP-X700/K, in over five years. This player is priced at $260 and is currently available at a discount. The UBP-X700/K is similar to the previous UBP-X700 model from 2019. It can play UHD and standard Blu-ray discs, as well as DVDs, and supports advanced audio and visual technologies. This announcement comes amid a decline in Blu-ray sales, with a reported 26 percent drop in 2024.
