I'd rather get the one from Samsung that is going to support everything and cost the same as the lowest-end stand-alone BD player...but that's just me.

LG latest player was a joke

if that samsung cost about 599 i would get it.

It IS awesome news. Love seeing that it will sport teh Faroudja chip as well. Can`t wait to demo this. I hope like another Hybred I have seen, that you can surf menus and do all that you are supposed to be able to on this Samsung unit. The other I tried would only allow you to play the vids. Bugs......

Samsung is pretty good about this kinda stuff tho.
