Samsung BD-UP5000 HD DVD/Blu-ray Combo Player Gets v1.2 Firmware Update

Samsung still seems to be trying to revive their ailing BD-UP5000 HD DVD/Blu-ray combo player, even after the BD-UP5500 was canceled in part because of chronic compatibility issues and customer complaints with the BD-UP5000. With firmware update v1.2, Samsung aims to "fix the network connection error" inherent in the BD-UP5000 (if you own the model, give us some details in the comments). Samsung seems to be spending a lot of time and money doting of the player's fragile nature with firmware update v1.2 the second update in as many months. We just wonder if its worth it with HD DVD out of the picture.
