amazon just refunded me $15 for the free copy of matrix that was included in this deal because i preordered it when the list price for the set was ~89. this means that my final cost was $208.

Mine shipped last night. Expected delivery today. Now, the question is if the wife will give it to me now or make me wait until my birthday (december). Matrix shipped today, looks like a Monday delivery.

Wow, and I've read so many good reviews on th 1500 lately. I was thinking about selling the player to a friend, but maybe I should test it out first...

I ordered it. I'm finaly on the Blu band wagon and riding into HD world. I should be watching Hulk in HD by Thursday.
Question for those who know: I looked at the dif between the 1500 and the 2500. Besides $100 it looks like the 2500 offers BD Live out of the box. In doing research before ordering it i saw that the 1500 could be "upgraded" to Live. Is this true?

Hmm, maybe that's why when I hook it up by hdmi I get a pink screen for a second and then black. And that's without even putting a disc in it. Although it does say it has the latest firmware (after updating it by ethernet).

From what I've read you can have a movie night with friends in other locations online and watch and discus the same movie (although I'm sure you have to each own a separate copy), as well as make personal comentaries available.
I can't think of much else you would use it for and it doesn't interest me much. I guess I could see studios saving money by not providing extra content (docs, deleted scenes, comentaries, etc) on the disc, only making it available over BD Live. That would suck but it might bring prices down, 95% of movies I don't watch much more than the deleted scenes.

Damn, I'm pissed. I ordered the Samsung early morning on the 18th and it still hasn't arrived. The Matrix arrived on the 20th but they say the blu-ray won't be here until tomorrow. I know I picked free shipping but usually Amazon has things here in 2-3 days.
I guess I shouldn't complain but the thing is I start a round of nightshifts tomorrow and the next chance I'll have to even plug it in (let alone watch the Incredible Hulk and Casino Royal in glorious, climax inducing high def) is NEXT Thursday. ARRGGH!!!!!
