P.S. If you can still find a Samsung BD-UP5000 for cheap, grab it over this one. With latest firmware update, BD-UP5000 is almost perfect and offers better picture quality than 1500, especially on upscale SD DVDs thanks to its Reon chip.
Glad I hung onto mine! :¬) Seems like the 5000 is now one of the best Blu-ray players period, unless Profile 2.0 is your thing. And of course, HD-DVD playback is a great feature if you've got a library of them.
Is it just me, or is the 1500 a bit ugly from the front?
