I had severe playback issues with SD dvd's to the point I returned this unit b/c I didn't want to be stuck with a bad player after the 30 day return policy. I had spoke with a Samsung CSR and they said a new firmware would be release to address the issue, but had no delivery date. When I read the new update came out last Friday I re-purchased the player again Sunday and retested with the discs I had issues with. Playback would freeze after 5-10 minutes of playback and sometimes the dvd menu's would lock up. Only problem was on standard def discs: Spiderman Superbit, Episode3, Pearl Harbor, X-Men, Superman Returns)

Blu-ray playback was always excellent and never got hot as some have claimed. And this site's review for the player was spot-on for those that want to read it again.

You say you "had severe playback" problems and it "would freeze". Does it still have these issues or not? From your post, it's hard to tell.
