What's great about it: Netflix and Pandora were a breeze. What's not so great: First player would not connect to internet, second player would not play dvds.
"I bought this product a month ago, excited that I would be able to watch Netflix instantly, only to find that my it would not connect to the internet. It comes with a LAN adapter that you need to plug into the back of the unit, and this piece was broken. My blue-ray would not even recognize the LAN.
So I brought it back the next day, and got a brand new one, same model. This one hooked up easily to the internet, but gave me problems every time I tried to play one of my dvds. They were not scratched, barely used. Sometimes the player would start the dvd fine, then stop half way through the movie and not start again. Other times, I would put the dvd in, and the screen would turn black and stay that way for 10 mins or so. I could not even get to the menu screen or eject the disc at this point.
I returned this item (my second return so far) only to find that the reason this one was so expensive was not because of the quality of the product, but because it was wall mountable.
I am afraid to go with Samsung again after these bad experiences. What a disappointment. Too bad, it could have been a great ride!"

"I bought the Samsung 32 inch touch of red hdtv and bought this to add to it. I alsoI bought this unit because it will connect on my home network to let me stream content from Netflix. I am waiting for my new computer to get here and set up the network and enjoy. In the meantime, this unit works so much better and faster than my SONY blu ray player. It loads quickly and the design is beautiful."

"Bought this player to match my Samsung 50' Plasma which is the same black/red color. Looks great wall mounted next to it. Had to jimmy rig it so that it wouldn't slide around on the mount. Think something was off on the bracket. Love the netflix wifi feature, use it all the time with no problems. Also has Pandora, Blockbuster, and Youtube connection."

What's great about it: Picture was OK. What's not so great: Firmware upgrade issue.
"I bought this player last week and plugged in. It played the movie fine. But after I setup the wireless connection, it asked for the firmware upgrade. I accepted and the download took about 30 minutes. Then it started upgrade firmware process. It took 4 hours, still not done. I waited for another two hours, still not done. I unplugged the power, plugged it back, now the player display "LOAD". I left it overnight, still LOAD. I called Samsung support, they said I would need to send it to Samsung to fix. I googled on this Samsung model as well as BD-3600, BD-1600, they all have this known issue. Finally decided to return back to Bestbuy, so dissappointed. Firmware is what we need to upgrade often but with this issue, I DON'T RECOMMEND to buy any of these Samsung Blu Ray players."

It was also wall mountable whitch was highly prefable except that you can see the hdmi cable I would defentaly recomend buying this product. Even at the 350 price. Its well worth it"

What's great about it: Looks great What's not so great: Can stream media over wifi, but can't rewind / fast forward streaming media very well
"The body looks great, love all the black on black. Works like a charm for dvd and blu-ray disk. That's expected.
I connected the WiFi - that went well. Did the firmware upgrade, no problems there. It found my PC's share drive -- everything going well! Can play MP3, check. Can play most PC formats fairly well, but behavior is a little odd. If I press rewind goes to start of movie! If I FF to 2x speed all is well, but when I try to go to 4x speed it goes to start of movie again. This with MPEG4 content. If I pause for more than 60 seconds -- start of movie. Arg. I wondered if my WiFi was the problem, so connected it directly to the LAN. Same behavior.
I dorked about with it for a while, then just decided it was a lot easier to connect my laptop to the TV with an HDMI output cable (my Dell m2400 happens to have a HDMI friendly 'Display Port') and watch online content that way. Now I'm wondering why I spent the extra money for the WiFi in the Blu-ray player, the laptop is far better behaved. On the other hand, my laptop doesn't have a remote, so its not all cake.
Maybe Samsung will improve the streaming behavior with a firmware upgrade, we can hope!"

What's great about it: Picture quality, design, user friendly (eventually) What's not so great: Setting it up
"This is my first blu ray player and I did have some issues setting up the wifi connection, but I think that's mainly because the manual isn't too clear about how to exactly set it up. So with some trial and error I finally got it to work. Then I had to do a firmware update, but unfortunately I had to REDO my wifi setup so that was a bummer. But since I was a pro at setting up the wifi then it only took a few minutes.
Once I got everything all set up though I was impressed by the options that are available. Netflix is so amazing to use and Pandora is unbelievable. YouTube is cool as well. It was easy to access them and add my accounts to all of them. It doesn't take long to stream Netflix movies, takes about 30 seconds or less to get them started and didn't have any interruptions during the movies. In order to add movies to your Netflix you have to do it through your Netflix account online.
Playing Blu Rays/DVDs is a total breeze. I like the "touch" buttons on the top of the device. It has a very cool design. But you definitely need to consider WHERE you're placing it. You have to insert the discs on the right side of the device AND you have an inch to inch and a half wireless adapter to the left of it. It didn't end up fitting in the TV cabinet, so I just ended up putting it on top. It also does come with a wall mount so that's another option.
Overall I do love this product. The picture quality is excellent. I know the menus aren't great, but they're not horrible just play around with it and in no time it's easy to find your way around. There are some really bad reviews on it, but I was hoping it was just those devices that had those issues and that seems to be the case. I haven't had any issues so far *crosses fingers* but I would buy the Best Buy protection just because this is a pricey gadget and $30 is definitely worth the peace of mind once the warranty is over."

What's great about it: The size and shape of the nit fits nicely on a narrow fireplace ledge. What's not so great: It is very touch sensitive and the glossy finish attracts dust
"I chose this machine more for esthetics than for the technical quality. For a Blu-Ray, this machine is rather pricey compared to other brands. However, I had just purchased a new Samsung television and the remote works on this unit as well. I particularly like the in/out mechanism that needs know clearance for a door to open. The DVDs slide in and out from the end of the unit with ease."

What's great about it: sleek, quiet, fairly intuitive setup and remote. Excellent price ($249) What's not so great: no complaints at all yet. Netflix sometimes has streaming issues, but restarting movie resumes where you left off
"I looked for a WiFi Blu-ray for a long time, and found prices to be all over the map. Even Best Buy has different pricing for the same product, but I found an incredible online deal that included store pick-up. I bought it at 9 a.m., got confirming email at 10 a.m. and picked it up at 2 p.m. The product is simple, sleek, quiet. and the picture and sound are great. The audio through my surround system scares the dog."

What's great about it: Simple install and a great price, came with free movies too What's not so great: Uhm........nothing???
"First off, I want to say this is the first blu ray player I have owned. It's ease of set up and wireless capability for the online applications was a big plus for less wires/cables to be visible. The unit itself is sleek and very low profile, much better than anything else I have even seen out there. It is also touch control, so really there are no buttons to wear out and it also makes cleaning the unit easy as well. You can also wall mount the unit or just have it on its stand or virtually laying flat on your entertainment center. I thought one of the coolest features was when I turned it on it also turned on my flat panel tv and changed to the hdmi component that it was selected for. It's also nice to listen to music through Pandora internet radio and sounds fantastic when connected to my Pioneer Elite stereo, or if you have a subscription to Netflix or Blockbuster, you can watch movies directly through it as well. Overall I rate this blu ray player a five star unit."

What's great about it: Ease of use, Speed, Netflix, Pandora streaming and looks. What's not so great: Blu-ray playability is undependable
"I purchased the Samsung, first, for the value and the sale coming with two free Blu-ray DVD's. Also, this player matched my Samsung 1080p Plasma with the touch-of-color design. It looked great and using and setting it up was easy. Unfortunately, after playing a Blu-Ray movie the player would stop playing at specific points of the movie. I played the movie again and the same things happenned at the same points. I played another movie and it happenned again. I took it back to Best Buy and the associate told me that it could need to be updated. I still exchanged it for the same player and perfomed the updates and played the same movies again and still had the same problems. I didn't want to deal with it again so I exchanged it for a Pioneer this time. I would not recommned this player based on its suspect playability."

What's great about it: On top of the blue ray quality when coupled with a Samsung LED you can't do better
"For the price the amount of entertainment you get from the additional media is well worth the newly reduced price. You should take advantage of the Netflix streaming videos, Pandora and Youtube options if you buy this. Otherwise you can get a regular blue ray. If you want to be entertained infinitely you will use the options available here. I have friends over and we can watch movies endlessly with Netflix ondemand. I also had a party recently and just logged into Pandora and had music to last the entire night. This is a must have if you enjoy entertaining from your home."

"We have a Samsung TV so the set up was very simple, the touch screen is super sweet and we were able to mount it on the wall right next to the TV which also looks very cool. The price was a little much, but like with any new technology, when things first come out they are that way! Although, I would totally recommend this Blu Ray player despite the price. We have had it for about 2 months and have not had a single problem with it!"

What's great about it: Easy to set up, great sale price, wireless streaming flawless What's not so great: nothing other than no wireless keyboard
"I got it set up in under 10 minutes, firmware flash is easy if you download the instructions from the site first, and use a usb flash drive to flash the new firmware. Network Setup was very simple and quick. Video Quality is excellent, that gig of memory in makes a huge difference. Sound is flawless through the optical. Netflix Streams easily, makes movie watching more convenient. Blu-ray discs play quickly and easily. The menus are aesthetically pleasing.
Typing in text however is a small hassle with the remote, other than that, it is a great product! I am always satisfied with Samsung and their customer service when needed is always easy and friendly."
