Samsung is looking to really make a dent in the war of next-gen DVDs. Their new BD-P1000 Blu-Ray Disc Player is hitting stores June 25th and will only cost $999. The player will be packed withlots of features and will be in stores soon enough to combat Toshiba’s HD-DVD players. No worries about getting your hands on movies to watch either. Netflix will be offering Blu-Ray rentalsthrough their service at no additional cost with about 200 titles to be released by the year’s end.
The BD-P1000 not only looks great too, but it’s feature rich for it’s “low†price of $999. It will feature full HDMI output, a 10-in-2 card reader, 1080p playback, a slew of inputs such as S-Videoand Component, and will playback older formats such as DVD and DVD-RW. Those waiting for other Blu-Ray players should probably stop holding their breath and seriously consider the BD-P1000 for bothits release date and price. The only way you’ll be viewing movies any cheaper will be with the PS3.
