Samsung hints at a combo player... that'll be great. It'll probably cost $1500. Whoo-whoo.

Is it $1300 Canadian?
Either way it looks too much like Samsung's usual low end, low quality players. At least Sony's player looks high end.

$1141 US, according to Google's conversion right now. So, a premium over the US price of $999.
BTW, I like this quote from the article:

Quite a far cry from today’s low end $50 DVD players. The savvy gadget hound may want to wait until the dust settles, and prices reach a reasonable level.

I really don't like the way the player looks in pictures. The Sony looks a lot cooler. But I think this will be my first Blu-Ray player.

Obviously I'm not one to preach being patient though and I understand if you can't wait, but I would start buying movies and just wait for that cool Sony player.
