No more speculation, kids. Samsung made an official announcement that the BD-UP5000 is coming—and it will be better than we anticipated.
The duo HD player will be BD Profile 1.1 Ready. That means it will have all of the hardware needed to play BD Profile 1.1 discs. However, it won’t play BD Profile 1.1 discs until it gets a firmware update, which won’t be available until January 2008.
In case you can’t keep up, Profile 1.1 allows Blu-ray players to store audio/video data and title updates. It also adds secondary video and audio decoders for picture-in-picture viewing and interactive audio commentary.
Samsung also adds: “Profile 1.1 discs are currently not available and compatibility must be fully tested before we can assure complete compliance to BD Profile 1.1 requirements.”
All that is a nice distraction from the company’’s other news: They are not coming out with the HQV-enhanced BD-P2400. That’s OK. You can use the $600 towards the BD-UP5000’s $1,050 expected price (according to Gizmodo).
The BD-UP5000 is shipping at the end of this month, but it won’t be available at retail until mid-to-late December.
i currently own an LG bh100 and it’s great but i don’t get all of the HD audio formats available, it does not have hdmi 1.3 and only supports 5.1 audio. I will buy the BD-UP5000 to get all of those things mentioned above plus 7.1 digital and analog. i will also get web enabled updates which is important and better than having to burn a dvd like i do now, not to mention web enabled content. the best thing i like about the combo player is no matter what format wins, i’m ready. the other thing is there is always an exclusive relase and it’s always on the other format and you really want it; i don’t/won’t have those issues! Dual format players are the way to go!
