The editors didn't like
Firmware needs to be upgraded before use (Simple Task though)
Slower load times than standard DVD Player
Gets you readdicted to watching movies again.
It costs twice as much as the least expensive HD DVD player. The remote suffers from small buttons and an odd button layout. Sluggish start-up and load times
But slightly better than current HD DVD players.
Twice as expensive as the competing HD-DVD player
Very few titles available at launch
Video quality on initial titles less impressive than HD-DVD versions

Price, Slow menu The Final Word For the early adopters this is a great product, offering excellent image quality and a variety of connection options. The price tag however, is considerably higher than that the projected cost of competing HD-DVD players.

Unsurpassed high-definition image quality, Integrated memory card reader for photos, Glossy black and brushed aluminum case, Popup interactive menus during playback
Its uncertain whether Blu-ray Disc or HD DVD will prevail, Lack of movies available in Australia, Pricey for what is essentially a video player
Unless youre a zealous early adopter whos already invested in a high-definition TV, wed recommend waiting until the format war pans out a little more, or at least until more Blu-ray Disc content is made available. ...
Excellent support for high definition video via Blu-ray. Better performance with DVDs than most DVD players.
The Blu-ray player needs a 1080p24 output mode to eliminate jerkiness in pans. Should be able to switch off HDMI audio output.
Blu-ray is exciting, and the Samsung BD-P1000 is an excellent introduction to it. I would just implore Samsung to upgrade the unit to provide 1080p24 output.
