I will never buy Samsung again.Update: Samsung emailed me to suggest I reset the unit (which I had done numerous times) or just wait for the next update. No problem playing older blu-ray discs. I bought two of these units when they first came out (2007). Firmware up to date (through network connection) but now wont play any newer blu-ray discs (such as "Bruno" or "Taking Woodstock"). Samsung not respond to email.
DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT. From what I have read, it is better to just buy a PS3. Everything else gets spit out as unable to be played. I just installed the 090803 firmware upgrade and I am ONLY able to watch bluray discs. I was finally able to get a firmware upgrade from Samsung for the 1400 after months of being unable to watch anything new. I have had nothing but trouble with this unit since I purchased it and it only gets worse with time. Now that I have upgraded the firmware, I CANNOT WATCH ANYTHING OLD. Even when it works, it takes forever to load movies and often just stops in the middle of a movie.
I've spent an hour tonight trying to play Drag Me to Hell and it won't play. Then, once it plays, the disc frequently stops and skips. I've had this problem before and hoped a firmware upgrade would help. It has brought me nothing but headaches. Avoid this product at all costs. Firmware is impossible to update, and then the disc still won't play.
It didn't biggest waste of money. I've had this player for about 18 months and wish I'd never bought it. BR discs load really sloooooowly, if at all. The firmware is up-to-date but it keeps saying "Loading." It never plays.
I attempted to watch "The Unit Season 4" on Blu ray today and move wont play. Dont purchase this player, firmware update dated 9/28/09 didn't correct loading/playing blu ray movies, not all movies work on player. Samsung doesnt have a date on when new firmware will become avaialbe to correct this frustrating problem.
Got a good price but it required some serious updates to keep up with the latest movies coming out. I am still using it today (10/09) just hope the updates keep coming.
