Samsung BD-P1000 problems?

[Innerloop]

I like mine too. When a better one with additional significant features come out, I'll buy that one and sell my Samsung on to someone else and recoup maybe 40% of my expense, and would consider it worth it. I'll definitely hang onto the Samsung until an HDMI 1.3 player arrives in some form.

When folks ask about Blu Ray I tell them the reasonable value of the Samsung player is maybe $350-$400 so if it drops to that range, it might be worth jumping in. The other $600 is frankly just an early-adopter tax so don't assume you're getting $1000 worth of hardware in there...
