Samsung’s complete Blu-ray home theater in a box (HTiB) system is ready to rock, with a variety of A/V goodies right out of the box.

Blu in the Box
The Samsung HT-BD1250 had plenty to keep us entertained. We were pretty fat and happy with a full diet of endless music and video from a variety of external services. The Blu-ray playback wasn’t too bad to boot. The speakers are small, but can crank pretty well in almost any size room (just don’t get greedy!). Overall, it’s a slick, compact starter package.
