Samsung Blu-ray player available in the UK
The next generation format war has just hit the United Kingdom on Monday, with Samsung introducing its DMP-BD-P1000 Blu-ray disc player to the shops. Samsung advertises this as being the world’s first commercial Blu-ray disc player.
With prices from around the £850 mark it certainly isn’t cheap, but Samsung expects several thousand units to be sold by Christmas.
The rival next generation format, HD DVD seems to be more favoured when it comes to early reviews, significantly lower pricing and its range of titles available. Toshiba expects to launch their HD DVD player next month in the UK with a significantly lower price of £450.
