Has anyone had any experience/comments on the Samsung 1500 blu-ray? Is it better than the Sony S300? I know that the guys at WHFSV have it on the text bench for review in the next issue but any chance of a sneaky peek! I'm am hoping to purchase shortly and can get either for sub £200.00. Cheers
Samsung BDP1500 - Anyone?

Hi Tony. I'm thinking about this player too, don't think anyone on here has one yet but lots of owners over on www.another site - dedicated HC forum. Generally v good feedback and has a clever 'HD audio re-code' function (like the Toshiba HD-E1) to make the most of HD audio with an older AV amp. There are mixed views on its DVD upscaling abilities. But it is very cheap compared to the competition!
I'll see if we can get our review up here online a little sooner. We've certainly been playing with it long enough for a review to appear....
Just be that bit more patient...because we've got some exclusive Blu-ray player news due 1st August, too, which could shake up whole budget HD player sector.

Wrong again - but even if you guessed right I couldn't tell you, as it's under embargo until 1st August.

Is that it????
Two new Sony players, we've known about these for months, didn't you say "because we've got some exclusive Blu-ray player news due 1st August, too, which could shake up whole budget HD player sector." that's hardly a shake up of the "Budget HD sector".
Some would argue that the BDP1500 is still a better player than these two and the 1500 is what you would call a real "budget player", the Sony's I would not, especially with the problems already encountered with the 3&500 models.
Stick with the Samsung's, Panasonic or even the PS3 IMHO.
That's another thing, how can Sony, produce such a good (well no better IMO) player in the PS3 and get it hopelessly wrong with the 3/500. I wouldn't hold your breath..... and certainly will not shake up the budget sector.
OMO, of course.

But you haven't read the review yet
Have you tested either of these new Sony players comparatively with the Samsung, the Panasonics and the PS3? We have...

Hi Clare,
My card is poised - how much will it be flexing to? And when will the S350 be in the shops?

Sony's given us a guide price of £230 for the Sony - retailers will set specfic pricing (£199 wouldn't surprise me). Due in shops later this month....

For the 350, well at least it's better priced than the 300 when that came out and if it says it can do everything thats on the tin then Sony are starting to go in the right direction.
