Digg it !!!

BD-P2500,Samsung's upcoming Blu-ray player promises BD-Live support out of the box.It should be available from october with its IFA announcement revealing identical specs and price ($499) to the Best Buy-exclusive BD-P2550 already on sale.In addition to BD-Live support, Samsung also confirms that the player packs the always-desirable Silicon Optix HQV video processing chip, and support for both Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD in addition to the usual non-HD formats. With HQV video processing and a wealth of audio support including 7.1 analog output and PCM or bitstream audio for Dolby Digital, Digital Plus, TrueHD or dts soundtracks, and DTS-HD HR and DTS-HD MA bitstream support, that's not an entirely bad thing.

Samsung Electronics is adding the ability to stream Netflix videos and Pandora's online music service to its latest Blu-ray players. Starting today, a free firmware update will add both services to the BD-P255. The Samsung players join the LG BD300 Blu-ray player, the Roku Netflix Player, and the Xbox 360 as the only devices to date--outside of a PC--that can access Netflix's online viewing service.
