(generally in stock around $349 at Amazon).

Just wanted to add that if the lack of IR is a deal breaker for the PS3 for some people who would otherwise be tempted, there is a (though limited) solution with this:

For $15 you get IR control, with the exception of On/Off (but you got to put the disc in there anyway right ? :) )

This being said, with the recent patches, nothing wrong (that I know of) with the BD-1400.

Stargate and Mr. & Mrs. Smith also booted up very quickly. (10-15 seconds - it was shocking compared to how slowly they booted before)

The only downside is that now Lord of War now has some freezing problems at the end and Mr. & Mrs. Smith had a few seconds where the image started to "wobble". Haven't had time to try out some of my other Blu-ray discs. Hopefully this can be fixed in the next firmware update very, very soon. (hint, hint, Samsung).

However, I'm not convinced about build quality and reliability as mine seems to have developed a few ticks in the time since it left the 3 month warranty period. Anyways, I'm sure I'll replace it sooner than my wife was thinking, now that the format war is over and the higher-end manufacturers like Denon are releasing BD players. ]]>Mar 2nd 2008 2:43PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/28/samsung-bd-p1400-review/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/28/samsung-bd-p1400-review/May 4th 2008 10:37PM
