Samsung BD-P1500 I updated mine to the latest firmware and it never worked since. Refused to read discs (apart from DVDs), remote is not responsive and it won't even let me reset it to original settings. Samsung won't help me either as I purchased second hand!

Sorry for the rant people lol!

In store only... may as well spend an extra tenner from Amazon and get it delivered as stocks are very erratic!

Same here did a update and never worked since , only reading standard dvd . If any one could tell me how to roll back to a previous update were my player worked i would apreciate it before i throw it in the bin . ps only played about 6 blu ray discs .

Afraid not such a good deal at R.S.

You do not get the two free blu ray discs: I am Legend and Oceans Thirteen with this as you do at Amazon for only £10 more.

HMV also have it in store for £150 including the said discs.

I tried to get R.S. to discount it further, stating that the discs are worth more than a tenner but they were not interested- very poor RS. A tenner off would have sealed a deal for them.

I had also made a trip to them and wasted an hour as they were not picking up their phone. Stood in the shop I saw how the phone just rang and they did not pick it up, albeit they did seem busy.

I don't think I'll ever bother going to R.S. again.

If customers were in the shop would you deal with the customers first or answer the phone? I would certainly want serving first above them answering the phone.... this is what i usually see from my local shop. (Maybe if we all had 2 heads and 4 arms eh )

Its faulty and *should* be working... take it back to retailer or contact samsung.... ( say it was a present and no receipt usually works for me with 2nd hand purchases! )

The SAMSUNG is in HMV (at least the Leeds branch) at £150 incl the free discs. They also have a Sony 350, which yesterday was 200+ (can't remeber exact price, just thought expensive) and today is £179 which is nearly as good as Amazon.

A little off topic, but HMV seem to be getting more competitive on their pricing. Also had Guitar Hero 3 inc guitar on all formats for (I think) £35 but it may have been £39.

I would just say that I got the samsung from Amazon in August and updated the firmware and it is a great little player, not problems with it at all - good cheap way to get into Blu Ray with a 2.0 machine.....£139 is a great price imho

I have had 2 of these, both stopped working after firmware upgrades so were sent back. Now have the sony 350.

Had one also - slow and dreadful DVD playback quality.

Got refunded due to the fact it was always reverting to 1080p and as my screen wont accept it meant I got a black picture.

Well rid...

Go for the SONY BDPS-350 for a few quid more (and free films)

I think you are correct Baldy, go onto Amazon's US site and the Samsung gets some shocking reviews from real world users. Too many people have returned these players. I am glad I did not buy it now. R.S. has the best price on the 350, but no branch I call has it in ( I know I said I would not shop there again!). I don't really want to pay 179 for it (price everywhere else) as I am certain price will come down soon- when those credit card bills start hitting in the next few weeks, the retail trade will never have seen anything like it and they will become desperate to do deals. I went into Blockbuster and it is 199 with 7 films. They told me the price will go up and/or it will be the same price without the films soon, but seriously, when over the long term has technology never plumetted in price over anything but the short term? Never and it will not start now.

My friend has a BDP1500 i agree dvd quality is not great.... however as a blu ray player overall its pretty decent. Its got the same blu ray quality as most of the other players do. Bootup speed is decent and menus fairly easy to operate. Not a badp layer for £140
