OK, if as one reviewer put it, Blu-ray is betamax to hd-dvd as vhs, than he has sold me on blu-ray. The recording industry and hollywood killed beta because the technology was far superior to vhs… which I never bothered to ever ever ever buy. I waited for dvd before I bought a single movie. Here’s a super … duper… novel idea… wait for high-def blu-ray titles and then compare them to hd-dvd titles (scientific method and all that). I know this sounds completely outrageous to hd-dvd proponents right now but a thinking being can conceivably give it some thought.

This and most of the current Blu-Ray players come with no Ethernet port- thus they most likely cannot support BDLive functionality, if and when it ever is finalized. It’s not very good as an upconverting player and was plagued by poor playback issues when first released. The PS3 doesn’t even upscale SD DVD’s so if you want upscaling with your next gen player and dont want to get burned get a Toshiba HD-DVD player. At least HD-DVD works and works now. Do NOT buy this or any Blu-Ray player until BDLive is finalized. Without finalized standards there are no guarantees. Right now, only HD-DVD is completely finalized.

First of all, the people that gave bad reviews either copied their use of words from other websites that wrote bad reviews about the player or honestly do not have a clue what the hell they are talking about. ( No offense to all you airheads that have zero clue, who make glib responses with no knoeledge of your remarks). Now, let’s start talking facts instead of opinions. The samsung blu-ray player is a far more superior player. It is now December, and disks are being produced at 50 Gig instead of 25, so that basically shuts up every negative review on here. ( Sorry, to those that left a negative review, u lose!) Now HDDVD can max at 30 gig while Blu Ray hits 50, an additional 20 gig that can be focused on nothing but a distinguished, magnificent picture. There may not be much difference between 1080i and 1080p, i agree with that. However, in order to get an amazing quality picture, it’s about the software, meaning the Disks, not the player! Get that through your heads people! Have you checked out Superman Returns? World Trade Center? Ice Age? Blu Ray is absolutley amazing. Second of all, the player is now around 800 dollars, so it was declined in price. The audio content is 5 times the clarity of DVD. And most importantly, Blu Ray is being backed by 95% of the motion picture industry! END OF DISCUSSION, NO MORE ARGUMENTS, BLU RAY WINS, AUTOMATICALLY! SO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL LEAVING NEGATIVE REVIEWS NEED TO SHUT THE HELL UP. And finally, it’s now quite obvious, that the future…..looks blluuuuuuueee Experience the World….in Beyond High Definition with Blu Ray!

After doing two weeks of research on Blu-Ray technology, I am proud to be the owner of the new Samsung BD P1000. I hooked in up to my Samsung 42″ Plasma via HDMI and I was blown away by the sharper images, deep blacks, and booming audio. Wow! I was a little hesitant about the purchase price, but find the results to be worth the pricetag. It is an elegant looking piece of hardware. Quite an upgrade from my previous Hi-Def Conversion DVD player in design and output. I was an early DVD adopter and have enjoyed the technology growth over the years, so it made sense to me to adopt Blu-Ray early on and follow the same path. I can’t wait to introduce my friends to this wonderful new format. All of the negative reviews that I have read on this site and others about Blu-Ray are completely unfounded. They reflect early HD DVD adopters that are threatened by the introduction of a competing format. This new Hi Def technology is not for everyone yet. But in due time, I think the Blu-Ray format will find its way into many homes.

The title says it all. Blu-ray and HD-DVD may have 3+ times the capacity of DVD, but that extra space isn’t used, anyway. Video and sound quality is the same. The only difference from DVDs is that Bluray discs are VERY expensive and the player is 500 bucks.
