Maybe they think it's a HD-DVD player
So you think the owners who sued put HD DVD disc inside it and think it should work!!?

Joke aside, as I don't have this player, but from what I read I think Samsung was really behind in firmware updates. From the lawsuit, BD+ protection was mentioned several times. It mentioned that owners were waiting for 8 weeks for a firmware update just to play a movie from Fox (maybe Fantastic 4). I know that BD+ is blu-ray thing but given other players play it right (and including my PS3 ) so I think it's a Samsung thing. Funny was, after the firmware update another movie was released a day or two after and the owners can't play it again. They need to get their updates quick to their customers! Nevertheless, I would really be careful and check professional reviews before buying one.

This is the suit: http://www.courthousenews.com/2008/0...uRayNewark.pdf
