Abstract: ldquo;I haven’t seen a Blu-ray player for $49.95 at Costco yet, but prices are coming down, as this recent model from Samsung attests. The BD-P1500 is being sold for close to $200 in Canada, and for as low as $150 in the US. But it’s not a stripped down mod...
Abstract: Video Review: If youre not upgrading to Blu-ray via the PlayStation 3, you might be interested to find that the BD-P1500 Samsung Blu-ray player is under $200. If you are, you might find this a decent gift for a non-gaming movie lover in your clan....

Excellent video playback, Spectacular playback Audio, Build Quality, Aesthetics, Availability
Slower than average load times, No alternate front panel controls, Substandard Hardware Pack (composite cables for a HD player, are you kidding me?!), No digital coaxial or analog 7.1 channel connections

Abstract: All in all, the Samsung BD-P1500 is a solid Blu-ray player offered at a great price. With a street price as low as $250, its one of the least expensive Profile 2.0 players you can currently buy.. I’d like to see the BD-P1500 behave with a bit more sta...

As I said at the beginning, my review of these two products likely took a very different nature than a review would have on a dedicated home entertainment website. I hope that I have at least been able to better acquaint you with the features of both t...
Affordable, Stylish, unobtrusive fascia, Crisp video playback
No BD Profile 2.0, No included HDMI cable, Accessing menus can be clunky, *
If youre looking for a relatively inexpensive Blu-ray player to bring your home theater up to speed with the full HD experience, Samsungs BD-P1500 wont lead you astray. Its simple operation, respectable performance and low price make it an ideal ent...
Samsungs BD-P1500 offers generally good performance and most of the features Blu-ray fans want, for a very reasonable price by Blu-ray standards. You may have to wait a little while for BD-Live and onboard DTS-HD decoding, but they should come soon. I...
