Samsung BD-P1500 Blu-ray Player Faces Delays With BD Live Implementation

The Samsung BD-P1500 Blu-ray player, announced back at CES in January, is facing a delayed launch thanks to some BD Live implementation issues. Originally slated for a May release, the BD-P1500 now won't hit shelves until June, but with full BD Live interactive capabilities.

Tentatively priced at $399 in January, the price is now listed as TBD, making us wonder if the 4th-generation Blu-ray player might break the $400 mark. With features such as 1080p playback, standard DVD upscaling, support for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TruHD and a future update to DTS-HD, we wouldn't doubt a price increase. Plenty of connections are also incorporated including HDMI 1.3, component and S-video inputs as well as a couple of audio outputs and a USB port for firmware updates.
