Running down to the store to pick up these latest release might not do much good, however, since there are currently no Blu-ray players available (there’s not supposed to be anyway, but there have been a few reports of Blu-ray players being on Best Buy shelves early). But that’ll be fixed on Sunday with the release of the Samsung BD-P1000. It’ll set you back about $1k. Since it doesn’t even support the dual layer Blu-ray discs being released later this year, I think I’ll wait.

The BD-P1000 does indeed play dual-layer Blu-ray discs, as confirmed in the manual. The confusion comes from an early reviewer who misquoted page 8, which actually stated that the player does not play both sides of a double-sided disc without flipping it over.
