Bro, you need to take that back and get the 1400. I mean, if you want to stay with the Samsung brand, then get the 1400. I have it and it works fine except for one glitch where the player will randomly shut off and go to splash screen (Rare occasion). The firmware disk I have on order, from what I'm reading, is supposed to fix that. Other than that, this player works great.

Now, you're going to have a plethora of people posting here that will recommend other players that have had their share of issues too. Don't let one person's "preference" distort what "you" want to do. Don't even let what I say about my 1400 differ you from what "you" want to do. Every BP has had its issues and I could post link upon link to show you that from other threads on this site... but I won't.

But, if you're staying with Samsung, do not spend money on the 1000. It is "the" most problematic player that Samsung put out (First Generation)

Thanks for the info, I think i'll pay the extra and get the 1400

It's the most problematic player on the market, not just by Samsung. If you are looking for a different player, that isn't Samsung, PS3 is the way to go. It will be profile 2.0, garaunteed....

If I were you I'd try to spend the extra amount and get the Panasonic BD-30 as far as standalone players go. It's profile 1.1. Or you could get the best BR player on the market and get a PS3.

at one time I had 4 BD-P1000's. They are 1st Gen players...a lot of problems, the picture quality is the worst out. Sold all 4 of them to one guy for $150 each. They were all mint. I upgraded to 2 Samsung 1400's and 2 Panasonic BD30's....and yes I also have a PS3 myself (used for games only). But I agree with everyone else. If you want to stick with Samsung, get the 1400 or if you can afford it, get the Panasonic BD30 or PS3...both better than the Samsung players....without a doubt.

I too just bought the BD-P1000 a couple of days ago. After reading all the stuff that has been said on this site about it and the 1200, im seriously considering returning it!
Hey, if you dont mind me asking ... how much did you pay for your BDP1000?

I don't have a problem with mine. Yet, but mine is the UK version so I don't know if that makes a difference. If you want a HD player that isn't a rip off look at the HDDVD Toshiba EP35. If you want to go blu-ray then I would probably recommend the PS3, seems like the best value for money if you like to play games occasionally. Another option (something I did) was to look in the elctrical stores and see what 'last in line models' they had. Picked up the BD-P1000 for half it's price). I refuse to pay twice as much for a player that does the same as a HDDVD player! Good luck.
