It's Profile 1.1 out of the box but is upgradable to 2.0 with a firmware update that is already out, so basically it's a 2.0 player... tonysavealot said:LetsGoMets1 said:I'm thinking of pulling the trigger. Do you know if the firmware is 1.0 or 2.0?
it's Profile 1.1
Are there any players out that have the new 2.0 (e.g BD-live) in this price range?
ps3 can do it with software upgrades, but what about standalones. |

the Panny 35 and Sony S350 are both Profile 2.0. I would buy both of them before this Samsung (profile 1.1). whoever got the Sony profile 2.0 bly-ray couple of days back are very lucky.... this samsung is not worth..........but a little patience would reward with a nice profile 2.0 player and a decent price.....
my 2 cents... |

Samsung BD-P1500 The BD-P1500 is upgradeable to BD-Live (2.0) through a firmware update. 7.1 audio is available through HDMI bitstreaming. You gotta do it yourself and some reviewers have noted problems doing it by themselves. |

May want to take a close look at the BDP-2500 for $249.99 minus $20 by using PayPal. This one has a really nice chip (pretty much state of the art) for upscaling standard DVDs and also can do NetFlix streaming. Personally, I think the extra $80 is well worth it. |

I believe that I just did a flash upgrade of my newly purchased BD P1500 and it is now Profile 2.0
A bit scary doing the process, because you can end up with a 200 dollar doorstop if there is a power failure or your dog pulls the plug or your cat steps on the surge protector switch. None of those things happened, the USB update went v. smoothly. Unfortunately when I went to the link Sideout identified, the price was $250 El Linko |

The firmware update seems to work, but it can not upgrade the memory.
You need to keep a 1GB USB thumpdrive plugged in at all time to keep with the 2.0 standard. |

Yup. One thing people have to realize is, why $150 may seem decent now, theres a reason why they lower prices like this at the end of the year....they are trying to unload stuff before it drops drastically. All these blu-ray players are supposed to be under the $100 mark next year so..... |

Comming up at 249.00 once added to my cart plus saying product no longer available. Oh well. I'll find a Sony for less than 200 tomorrow! Just thought this would be good since I just ordered a new samsung plasma. |

Does not currently support Profile 2.0 or have onboard DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; Blu-ray image quality could be better; DVD playback will disappoint videophiles; no analog multichannel outputs; some annoying operational glitches; operational speed still sluggish compared with PS3. |

Same idea. |
