Rating: - Blu-ray player...WOW what a picture!
I've had a Blu-ray drive in my pc for over a year at a cost of over $1500, but not until I got the player added to my 42" plasma input selection did I really get the true effect! Never enjoyed a movie so much as now with my Samsung BD-P1500 Blu-ray player. Now all my top movies (Ironman, and The Last Samurai) are in Blu-ray format. And to think I only spent $200 for this player....wow...

This was delivered on Halloween and brilliantly Fed Ex left the package on my doorstep. I was gone the whole weekend and needless to say it had been stolen when I got back.
Amazon was really easy to work with. They understood what happened and were able to get me a replacement.

The Samsung is a great entry in the mid-price category of Blu-Ray players. It has an ethernet connection in the back (you may have to update the firmware) for BD Live, the special feature option that requires ... Read More
Rating: - Best Blu Ray Player for the Price. Period.
I purchased this item in April of this year, and have had zero issues with it. It plays all DVDs and Blu Rays I throw at it without any problems.
I have updated the firmware to enable the BD LIVE and it works GREAT! What a steal for its current price - I paid almost twice as much when I picked up mine!
Two important notes:
1. To enable BD Live and to use it you must plug in a 1 GB or higher USB Flash drive into the unit and LEAVE IT IN to use BD-Live functions.
2. HDMI users: I stream the HD codecs to my Onkyo 805 through HDMI - works without a hitch and sounds incredible BUT know ... Read More

This is a great basic player. It'll get the job done without having to spend a fortune for a bluray player
