Pricing and availability details

The device carries a price tag of approximately $2,800 or 434,500 yen. This pricing is significantly lower than the Magnetar Ultima player released this month. The new hardware will remain exclusive to the Japanese market for now.

Included features and storage

The unit supports playback of 4K Blu-rays as well as standard discs. It includes built-in 4K broadcast tuners and a 10TB hard drive for local recordings. Users can also record content to cloud services like Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive.

Market context for September

This launch marks the second new 4K Blu-ray player introduced in the current month. TechRadar notes that few new players are typically released during this period. The announcement brings fresh hardware options to a niche audience despite limited global distribution.
