Just picked up one of these today on a whim (it was on sale).
Anyone have any opinions on them? |

Not very good reviews at Amazon, not surprising for something from Samsuck.

Cnet looks about the same:

You'd probably be far better off with a Panasonic. They cost more but you get what you pay for. |

Amazon has a Sony BR player right now for $229 with free shipping:

It says "while supplies last" so it probably won't be there long.
Be aware that the Samsung you bought along with other players being sold now are version 1.0 players and most of them can't be updated to 2.0, the upcoming version. The 1.0 players are going to have compatibility issues with 2.0 discs. |

Thanks for the info, David.
Even if I get a year of enjoyment out of it, I'm good. I'll put in down in the kid's room and buy a recent one.
One interesting thing is that I've twice to upgrade the firmware on it via a burned ISO and both times it failed. |
