Panasonic gets official with DMP-BD60, DMP-BD80 and DMP-BD70V Blu-ray players

Remember those three Blu-ray players we saw briefly during Panasonic's keynote today? Now that's totally official, with the DMP-BD60, DMP-BD80 and DMP-BD70V arriving with VIERA Cast support that provides access to Amazon Video on Demand. Quite honestly, the trio is pretty average at first glance, but we can't help but dish out a round of golf claps for the BD70V, which is the planet's first (and last, probably) VHS / Blu-ray combo player. Talk about going from one extreme to the other.

Of course, we all know that VHS is lacking in high-quality video, but I think it will still be exciting to watch our old VHS videocassettes in 1080p, instead of any of the blocky picture in 480p or the choppy image in standard 480i. How's that sound?
