I love it so far. After a firmware update--a painless and quick process--it still won't play 'Sunshine', and it won't decode DD THD to the analog outputs*, but other than that, I'm happy. While I understand that many purchasers are quite frustrated with its inability to decode/send some high-rez sountracks along the digital-audio feed, I bought it to be able to see HDs and BDs with one machine while consuming only one set of my preamp's 6-channel inputs, and it does that very well.

BTW, I understand that the next update will make it 1.1-compliant; we'll see. :-)

* which means it won't play 1.5% of the hi-def discs I own

How's this:
Samsung builds shit products and you'll regret spending your money on their junk. Take it for what it's worth.

Notice the :-) as I don't want to give anyone the impression that I wasn't joking about their doorstops.

    "Since I don't much like Sony products..." may not be as colorful as my post, but it's black&white just the same. Sony may not be everyone's favorite electronics company, but at least they invent: Samsung copies (and does a poor job at it most of the time).
    
    By the way, "...and won't have issues like Samsung BD products." and "Samsung builds shit products and you'll regret spending your money on their junk." pretty much answers the question that was asked: "What do you think of the Samsung 5000?".
