Interesting that they chose the same color scheme as the Toshiba HD-DVD players.

Why are the HD players (HD-DVD and Blu-Ray) looking like VCRs?
I thought it was just me, but everyone I show these players to automatically thinks they're VCRs.

My guess is they're trying to distinguish them from DVD players. Though the Warners insider Mark Rubin (mod at AVS) has been talking with said the Samsung was far smaller than the Toshiba.

Most DVD players are either all-black or all-silver, not two-tone.

Blu-Ray is here!
2 people on AVS picked up their samsungs tonight.
FYI, both have had glitches thus far. One person had a lock-up and the other had the disc "spit out" 3 times and it wouldn't play.
Anyone here getting one?

Seriously though. $1000 overall is not a lot of money to someone who makes decent money. But, it is overpriced for an item like this.
To someone with money (I mean who has it and doesn't ever have to worry about it)? $1000 is like $10 so it doesn't really make much difference.
If you don't have a $1000, you seriously need to start focusing on your retirement goals more closely. Don't be worrying about items like this. But, to say that one needs to win the lottery to have an extra $1000 is kind of going overboard. One only needs to make reasonable money and know how to use it to have an extra $1000.
I'm sure most buying one of these on here didn't win the lottery. I thought about buying one, but thought why? Why pay $1000 to watch a couple titles. Nope. I'm waiting this one out. Will have something by December im sure.

The Samsung player is just arriving at the vendors, but they will not be on sale until the 25th. The 2 guys that are posting in the AVS forum are a vendor and a guy that BB sold to by mistake (nearly off the truck). Only the vendor has hd movies to play. Funny how they are arriving 11 days before they can be sold! (Maybe they will sell them earlier?)
