The New Date from Tweeter is December 18th, from Toshiba reps, until the date changes...again!

Due to some issues during QC testing, distribution in the US has been pushed back by a month. :(

I just got an email from Valueelectronics which is were I ordered it from, and it is now delayed until 12/11/2006.

Umm Amazon price is not correct. $499 IS the MSRP so the supposed savings are non-existent

I ordered from B&H; Photo and was told it would ship on 12/15/06 to my house. A little late for Christmas. Pre-ordered it anyway.

I do not know. I purchased this item as a gift for my daughter. Her family loves it, it gets a lot of use without any need for repair. I have no other information about the player

Thanks a lot for the reply. Sounds like this player does everything I want. Now, if Amazon would get them in stock...

There are a few places online you can purchase HD music, HDTracks and Acousticsounds SuperHiRez are the main stream ones, but there are others just Google "HD Music Downloads" and you will see the rest. Ponomusic will also have them at some point in the future, my guess would be around October when they ship their first players.

I dont't understand the logic here. This product is being advertised all over the web that it would be released on the 22nd. I sent my order through Amazon today but I wonder now if I should have waited more or go somewhere else.

Thanks. I assume that if you can download the update to a computer at all you should be able to transfer it to the player. When I originally bought my ps3 you couldn't download the updates without an internet connection.(I think it's possible now, though) I was saved by its wireless feature. I just do not want to run into the same problem in a different place with a different player. Thanks again.

Back in May a baby store told me this too so I waited. Last week I called Baby Jogger to get more info and they said they weren't familiar with a new release in fall because new releases come out in spring. He could not tell me what the changes would be.

Thank you, Matt. I'll be hooking the player up to the internet today will do the update straight away. I've only had the player for a couple of weeks but so far no problems and I love the difference in the picture. I really hadn't expected such a large difference. Haven't tried non Blu-Ray yet.

Mine seems to do the same thing. I called the number on the Instruction booklet, the person I talked to could not help but unsuccessfully tried to reach their tech support. They never called me back. I really like the player- it is just what I was looking for. I will return the unit as I also think it is defective. Cannot decide whether to ask for a replacement, or just get my money back.

Why did Amazon remove the items page? Especially when everything on the net is pointing to a release date of Dec. 19 in the US! Ugh the mystery around this on all of the websites is nerve wrecking!

Sorry, I no longer have that player. I'm fairly certain it is, but not 100% sure. Again, sorry I couldn't be of any help.

Hi I was puzzling over what kind of suggestions to make when I read that your player is working. That's great! Happy viewing!

It appears as though they may have pushed out this date. The download website currently reads "Fall, 2008" for a Mac Friendly version... Anyone have any input?

The Sept 1 press release for this product said Oct 2 release date (which was when the pre-order finally showed up on Amazon). I contacted Samsung on Oct 2, and they said "Early October" release. They couldn't give me any more details, so I guess we can expect this within two weeks. I felt "hinted" that we'd know something more definitive by Oct 5, although the sales rep couldn't say much. No word on the included accessories either, and even some of Amazon's specs for the different models don't line up with what Samsung originally announced in the press release. I hope this gets straightened out soon.

Well, November and December did not pan out so is it now January (of 2014?)What a farce the release of the Taichi has been. I feel like just buying a Surface Pro when it comes out at the end of this month.

Any updates on the release date? Are people getting it from Pioneer this week?Thanks!

I'm glad you warned me. I notice there are firmware upgrades on their site. But why would I have to upgrade a brand new player? One of them said it was necessary to listen to audible books? I hope not. I may very well get back to you with questions. Thank you again!
