Let's hope my new BR doesn't fail like HD-DVD.

I just bought the Sammy BD-P1200, and so far it works flawlessly. It gives the BD picture Samsung should have given us from the start. I'm not in love with the shining blue light on the front of the player when the movie's playing, but since I don't know what to do about it, I'll learn to live with it. (Although, if anyone has any suggestions on how to eliminate or mute it, I sure would appreciate hearing from you.)

I just hope to God that it's more reliable than the Toshiba HD-A1 HD-DVD player I also own. After the usual numerous firmware updates, it was working fine for a while, and now it's gone completely bonkers, with endless freezes and sound miscues. Since I've had it less than a year, the repair work is free, but I suppose I have to pay the postage to Massachusetts.

Now, you would think Samsung's second-gen player would be pretty much free of defects, and I just hope I can rely on it. If that thing breaks down too, I won't have anything to watch movies on. I might have to go out and get a life. Or even learn how to read again. It shouldn't be hard for you to understand my situation. So I beg of you all, pray for me. Pray for my Sammy.
