Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-Ray Disc Player
Very Good First Gen Player
Dont listen to the bad reviewers on here.  Why do people insist on reviewing a product they dont even own.  They are simply biased because they own HD-DVD and cant afford the Samsung at this time.  I happen to have bought the Samsung player and it is amazing.  There are no menu delays like the poster claims and the load times are faster than hd-dvd.  As far as the quality of movies, this has nothing to do with the player, as its well known some of the first releases were not transferred well most likely due to dual layer disks not out yet and compression being uses.  Not Samsungs fault.  For those who dont believe me, pop in Underworld or T2 and trust me it will be eye popping.  The bad transfers were Fifth Element and some others which is the studios fault.  Same with Regular DVD, some transfers just are not up to par.  Dont trash the player or the format because of this.  Im sure HD-DVD has some bad transfers too but im not biased against it, just be fair.
