Price point will make or break this, ironically this is geared towards people sitting on the fence so to speak but when you think about it people on the fence dont really want to pony up to much money.

600.00 combo players may have a chance but it kinda prolongs things. Who knows we may actually just have two formats for a while. I'll stick with my HD DVD player for now. We'll have a winner maybe two years later? If not I guess its possible to have two formats, hell we have PCs and MACs and Linux somewhere in the mix, so I guess it could happen]]>Sep 16th 2007 2:54AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/Sep 16th 2007 8:06AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/Sep 16th 2007 2:00PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/Sep 16th 2007 2:33PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/Sep 16th 2007 4:05PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/Sep 17th 2007 4:40AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/Sep 17th 2007 11:00AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/
If Samsung is listening, your consumers are telling you this needs to have an MSRP of $499 if you hope to sell any]]>Sep 17th 2007 12:37PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/16/samsungs-bd-up5000-hd-dvd-blu-ray-combo-player-gets-previewed/

Personally, I will be getting this player. I want all three formats on one player, and I want my SD DVDs to look as good as they can on my 1080p screen.

My only concern is the lack of USB for storage (so far). It'd be nice if I could put downloaded material onto a flash drive and play it with this player. Oh well, there's always my modded Xbox. :¬)]]>Sep 18th 2007 3:17PM
