Samsung BD-UP5000 swings both ways
July 26th, 2007
Samsung certainly isn’t going to bank on either HD format to win this war, and would be more than happy if both formats do well. This is evident by the release of its BD-UP5000 Duo HD player that does both Blu-ray and HD DVD effortlessly, handling both formats’ interactive technologies (BD-Java and HDi) with panache. Be prepared to dig deep for one though, as the BD-UP5000 Duo HD retails for a whopping $1,049. Unfortunately, at that price point Samsung has failed to include support for the forthcoming update to Blu-ray’s minimum player specifications that come into play this October 31st. The price could do with some tweaking though, as I might as well drop $499 for a PS3 and perhaps $400 more for a HD DVD player, getting more than what the $1,049 BD-UP5000 Duo HD offers for less.
