Besides, there are so few BD-Live titles that it doesn't really matter. More concern for BD-P1500 owners is whether the 2.0 upgrade is just a firmware upgrade or whether they'll have to plug a USB storage device into the back to enable it. It may not have enough local persistent storage for 2.0 compliance. It's not a big deal, but I can imagine some people whining that they have to fork out $10 for a stick.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DrXym]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2008 11:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's BD-P1500 gets firmware update, Profile 2.0 not included]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/samsungs-bd-p1500-gets-firmware-update-profile-2-0-not-include/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/samsungs-bd-p1500-gets-firmware-update-profile-2-0-not-include/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am sure 2.0 is great and all, but to be quite honest I really don't mind that my player doesnt have it.

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)<br><br>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.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Justin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2008 11:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's BD-P1500 gets firmware update, Profile 2.0 not included]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/samsungs-bd-p1500-gets-firmware-update-profile-2-0-not-include/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/samsungs-bd-p1500-gets-firmware-update-profile-2-0-not-include/</guid><description><![CDATA[You say you "had severe playback" problems and it "would freeze".

The same happened to me during the upgrade. Check your setup menu, If upgraded you have following SW: 080708.01_04282008_XEF<br><br>regards<br>Ole Kaare<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ole Kaare]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2008 10:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's BD-P1500 gets firmware update, Profile 2.0 not included]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/samsungs-bd-p1500-gets-firmware-update-profile-2-0-not-include/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/samsungs-bd-p1500-gets-firmware-update-profile-2-0-not-include/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just purchased the Samsung BD-P1500 and have installed the latest firmware (as of 9/1/08).  As Justin said above, BluRay playback is fine, but DVD playback sucks.  Playback frequently hiccups and sometimes stops altogether (requiring pressing the eject button -- thus losing your place in the movie).  This even occurs with discs that have a flawless surface on them (no scratches, dirt, nothing to obstruct laser tracking).  I find this inexcusable.  I do not want to have to keep a DVD player around, plus have the BluRay player stacked on top of it.  I want one player that does both.  My Panasonic HD-DVD player has virtually no issues with DVD playback (it is slow at navigating menus, but it doesn't glitch while watching a movie, like this Samsung does).  I question whether or not Samsung ever played any DVDs in this player during their development.  And if they didn't, then why even claim that it's suitable for DVD playback?  I'm contemplating returning this unit.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris.H.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 8:57PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
