WOW!

I didn't get this through Play since they don't usually send this stuff abroad. Fair enough. But I did get this player after favoring over the PS3. Let's go through the basics. Anyone not managing to upgrade the firmware has to be kidding me! I mean all you have to do is visit the Samsung site, download the .bin firmware, burn it to cd...and it's done.

So with the new firmware I started experimenting a bit, and I must say that this player took all my dvds flawlessly. The image is rock solid and the sound is..well...I couldn't find my jaw for a time.

Receiving Ratatouille from play, I hurried with my daughter to watch the title on my 50inch plasma. I curse play.com seriously for messing up my weekend. We saw the movie five times, such is the stunning impact of Blu-Ray, and of this player.

Loading times ARE slower than conventional DVD players, but one has to remember that with Java interfaces and data streaming, it is only understandable. Not something I like obviously, but not something to complain about either.

The upscaling on normal movies is nothing short of amazing. Pearl Harbor on this monster is simply a new movie, and Happy Feet , as well as Ice Age 2 are simply marvelous.

I was wary of buying this player after seeing so many conflicting reviews. There was NO middle ground. People either hated it or loved it. I considered those who could not upgrade it as maybe being non-technical people. Then I looked at those who complained about the unit breaking,and reasoned that a bad batch can come from everywhere. Many people were impressed with the quality though, and I am no outsider to this group.

Thankfully the unit here in Malta comes with a 2 year warranty, and I am on my second month of usage.

About the only gripe I can come up with is that you have no audio control over HDMI cable unless your audio amp is connected via HDMI too. There is no way I can ever get rid of my old NAD, so I just have to find a way round that.

All in all a very good player, and I shudder to think what may come in the future. Well worth it!

I have had mine now since May and have played about 25 blu rays on it with only one disc proving to be a problem ( all the boys love mandy lane ) and loads of DVDs. On the hole very pleased with the player but it does seem a bit hit a miss from other peoples comments. Def worth keeping firmware up to date which you can get from Samsungs website or plug in an ethernet cable to your home router. Would have given player 5 stars if it had played all my blu rays. Also got this in 2 days so once again great service from Play!
