that is a great deal. i was thinking of taking advantage of this package at circuit city where it was $249.99 before tax, but was leaning away from it... this might just make me lean in the other direction.

how is this player compared to others on the market?

Not a bad deal at all. Even I am ALMOST tempted to get this.

Someone in another thread mentioned that Samsung players are crap.

Early Samsung Blu-ray players were, but reviews for the 1500 have been fairly solid. It's no Sony S350 or PS3, but it does the job from what I can tell.

Not a huge difference, but it's currently showing up for $226.86 for me (typical Amazon price changes I suppose).

It's been going up and down in the $220s for two days. Also, there are times it has been unavailable. If you want it, get it while you can.

Wow!!

F@#%ing Circuit City. I literally placed the order for this from CC less than an hour before reading this, and when I tried to call CC to cancel the order, they told me I couldn't cancel it until the item is about to ship. Now I have to call CC back on Wednesday just to cancel the order through them (or wait until I receive shipment and return it to a CC store).

Sometimes there are Circuitcity.com 10% off coupons floating around online. You should do a search and see if you can find a code. This player has gotten good reviews from most websites. It's definitely worth $250.

I'm working on the wife, but she's just not caving. And I even have a $25 Amazon gift certificate. :(

blokhed 10-14-08 11:04 AM

Dang, that's a great deal. I wish I didn't already have a PS3.

no you don't.

The deal is down to $214.99 now.

DeputyDave 10-15-08 03:48 AM

Does anyone know how good the upconversion is on this unit? My wife told me to go ahead and get a $250 Sony unit they had at the Sony store a couple of weeks ago, but I decided to wait until Xmas. This deal with Matrix is enough to make me go though. The problem is my main standard DVD player is crapping out and I also wanted to buy a good upconverter (maybe the Toshiba, don't want to spend Oppo money).

If this is a good upconverter (and the sale is still on Friday, when I get paid) I'll go for it.

ramivic 10-15-08 02:44 PM

Deal is now $210 on Amazon.com with free Matrix

DVD Josh 10-15-08 02:54 PM

I guess I should have waited, but I got mine the next day (free shipping) so I guess I can't complain too much.

David Levine 10-15-08 03:00 PM

Gizmodo is reporting the player itself with be 149.00 on Black Friday.

Trevor 10-15-08 03:08 PM

Was slightly on the fence, now I'll wait.

DeputyDave 10-15-08 05:27 PM

There is no way in hell I'm going to wait in any lines this year. I wish i knew if it would be offered online at that price anywhere.

Plus, the Matrix is a tempting addition.

glasschicken 10-15-08 05:38 PM

The wife just ordered this and the matrix for my birthday/xmas. Awesome!

bis22 10-15-08 06:20 PM

$214 now!

Josh will you let me know what you think of this when you get it. If it's still on when I get paid on friday I might have to convince the girlfriend.

Abe. 10-16-08 01:56 AM

Had to jump on this. I already have two Blu-ray Disc players, but I could always just sell the player to a friend of mine, and keep The Matrix on BD :)

My thinking is that Amazon will need to compete, so I'm holding off until the holidays for a lower-priced player online. I don't want the Matrix box set.
