Cheapest Samsung BD-P3600 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player

So, my girlfriend promptly fried my Samsung BDP 1600, which I absolutely loved, so I was thinking it was time to upgrade. I really wish I would've just replaced it with the original now because this one has been nothing but a headache.

Every feature that I wanted in this player is flawed. Blu ray movies look fantastic...too bad the lip sync is off on my brand new Pirates of the Carribean DVD (as in blu ray, not standard).

Standard DVDs work...but not very often and when they do manage to load by some minor miracle, it's only a matter of time before it starts skipping and subsequently locks up. Of course the only thing I can do at that point is cycle the power. ..And yes this was a brand new standard DVD, fresh out the packaging, that I was attempting to watch. I tested standard DVD playback with other DVDs from my collection with similar, disastrous results.

But what about CDs you say? Forget about it. The performance on the brand new CD that I tested was even worse than standard DVDs. It skipped so badly that I took it out in frustration and resisted although just barely, the impulse to throw it (the player) out the window.

Don't even get me started on setting up wireless. I work in IT and this was infinitely more frustrating than it needed to be. It found my network, but wouldn't connect to it, because there were spaces in the network id...Guess how long it took me to figure that out? I was thinking this was a problem with my wireless security setup. Even after connecting to my network, I still wasn't able to utilize the bd live content on my Seven Pounds disc. I gave up once I realized that I had been waiting 20 plus minutes....

Also can someone please tell me why when the player first boots up, it boots up in a lower resolution, and then realizes that it needs to display in 1080p? So it boots up in a lower resolution, fades to black, no signal detected, then boots back up in 1920 X 1080. Fantastic.

So yeah when I think of Epic Fail, I think of the Samsung BDP 3600. Do yourself a favor and buy something else. Get more detail about Samsung BD-P3600 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player.
