Advantages: Great video and sound quality, looks great Disadvantages: Very expensive, quite a few bugs that need sorted out
Now this is a very special piece of equipment, it is the first Blu-ray disk player out so it is a really cool piece. It's really a bit for the show offs out there (like me) though. It costs a lot of money and is really not worth it unless you will be showing it off a lot because it costs twice as much as Toshibas HD-DVD players. It looks really good with a glossy black finish over the top of it and looks like a really well finished product and would ... ...of gadgets and gizmos. One bad thing is that the remote is really quite bad in comparison to the actual player it's just not as cool but it is easy to use and I have managed to memorise the positions of all the buttons I use on it.

Advantages: it's blu-ray technology Disadvantages: slightly overly sensitive

This Samsung technology also offers backward compatibility, (which is what my girlfriend loves) it lets you enjoy your favourite CDs and DVDs. The BD-P1000 even takes your current DVD library and upconverts it to a near hi-def experience via 720p/1080i and 1080p. The user-friendly graphic interface includes a full-color, hi-def animated menu, (which I love) with features such as advanced subtitle functions, video scene search ...

This product is one of the best out there. You defeinently get your mone out of it. The picture is so amazing that you see every blade of grass. The only faults on this is it takes to long to power up/down, ejecting the disc and load the disc. But all of that aside, this will be worth every penny you spend on it,
