Samsung? Firmware updates? A company with the worst track record in providing timely updates to its Blu-ray players shouldn't be grilling consumers with FAQs like "why do I need to update my firmware?" : instead, they should be asking themselves "WTF can't we keep up with Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer, etc?" .

And as for the condescending tone they have with consumers thinking that upconverting = High Definition/Blu-ray, maybe they should read some of the material that their very own marketing department puts out. [*heavy sarcasm alert*] Makes you wonder how or where the consumer would get such a notion.

(Not shooting the messenger, Ole. But I hope you can see the hypocricy with regard to Samsung, of all companies, taking on the "responsibility" of educating the consumer.)

  with the updated firmware in place I can�t be happier with its performance as it�s much better against my PS 3 (which was my reference for over a year or so) in every aspect of video and sound quality again with all the firmware upgrades in place. I�ve read most of the blogs in the �net about the Samsung blu-ray player's shortcoming and issues but so far I haven�t experience them with this model the BD-UP5000 could be that the one I bought is a lemon.

  I too hesitate to buy Samsung products, mainly due to the CEO.
  see link at the end of my post.
  
  The CEO set a bad example, one excutive have gone to jail in USA, and 15 have been convicted.

  But for those, who have problems with a Samsung player, my first link might help.

    It seems CEO has come to mean criminal, regardless of the industry. Why can't these people just be happy with their millions and power?
