Should I buy this thing or wait and see what Black Friday brings, or get the new one from Panasonic?

Also, has anyone reported issues connected this to an Onkyo AVR? My Samsung HD-906 upscaler has issues with my Onkyo AVR where the picture and sound drop intermittently.]]>Oct 7th 2008 3:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/07/samsung-bd-p1500-update-finally-enabled-bd-live/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/07/samsung-bd-p1500-update-finally-enabled-bd-live/The only issue I have is when playing Bonusview picture in picture in its bitstream audiophile mode, the secondary audio does not play - this can be "fixed" by switching to PCM output, but obviously, I would prefer not to switch.
This player matches VERY well with Onkyo HDMI receivers - I can speak from experience (I have an 806). If your receiver has HDMI and supports the latests DD and DTS formats, you switch the 1500 to its Bitstream Audiophile mode, and you are all set (besides the one mentioned bug which I have reported to Samsung Tech-hopefully to be fixed in a future firmware update)]]>Oct 7th 2008 5:19PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/07/samsung-bd-p1500-update-finally-enabled-bd-live/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/07/samsung-bd-p1500-update-finally-enabled-bd-live/
Re: PiP audio with Bitstream audio.

There is no way around this 'issue' because current HDMI standard only transmit one audio stream to AVR. Maybe in the future of HDMI 3.0, we will have multiple audio stream from player to AVR. Then, you can have your PiP audio and bitstream on at the same time. ]]>Oct 7th 2008 5:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/07/samsung-bd-p1500-update-finally-enabled-bd-live/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/07/samsung-bd-p1500-update-finally-enabled-bd-live/Oct 7th 2008 4:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/07/samsung-bd-p1500-update-finally-enabled-bd-live/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/07/samsung-bd-p1500-update-finally-enabled-bd-live/

How about a $100 price tag. I have said I would go $120 or $150 with 2 or 3 free movies but most are waiting for better prices.

I also just updated to the new firmware. Why isn't there some kind of release notes somewhere? Nothing official I can find from Samsung that says what the firmware update does and if you need the extra ram on a usb drive.]]>Oct 12th 2008 9:03PM
