It integrates not just the Zune media player (including Zune software sync) but also Xbox Live's achievements, avatars and friends.

 Sony launched its first 3D-ready Blu-ray player, known as the BDP-S470 for those of you who absolutely love memorizing gizmos by their official names. Technically, this model is not ready to display Blu-ray 3D content just yet, but it will be able to do so later this summer via a firmware upgrade, and it might be the same firmware which will enable the Sony PS3 to handle 3D playback over Blu-ray as well. Apart from that, Sony has also made known that its BDP-S570 Blu-ray Disc model and the BDV-E770W and BDV-E570 Blu-ray Disc home theater systems will be able to support Blu-ray 3D as well via their respective firmware updates this summer.
