The end of the First Gen players ?

[speedkick]

Here in Oz the new PS3 40Gb is about to be released (11th Oct).

As somebody who bought the Samsung BD-P1000 - and is starting to get a bit fed up with Spiderman 3 being reloaded 6 times before it will successfully play - I am very tempted to pickup the new 40Gb even though the specs are lower, it is pretty cheap for a Blu-ray player that also plays PS3 games

Just wondered who else is thinking of trading up (?) from a stand-alone first gen player to this PS3 model ?

Or shall we all wait for the magic firmware upgrade from Samsung
