So who's pre-ordered it? I just pre-ordered this and can't wait. Anyone else getting it/excited for it?

My dealer told me that the Yamaha Canada rep quoted him 1-Feb-08 for Canadian release, so it sounds like we're all getting similar info. Let's keep our finger's crossed that they don't delay again.

It looks like Christmas has been pushed back until January 15. But that's alright now I don't have to worry about trying to pay for this along with everyone's christmas gifts. I can't wait.I just read in the Home theater forum that someone saw on Amazon a release date of Dec. 24. I see Jan 15. Is it possible Jan 15 is actually a consertative release date and that it will come out earlier?

I order the bd-up5000 on October 6 from one call.com. Kind of disappointed that they keep postponing the date.I really am excited about this product and hope that when it finally comes out it will work. The reviews have been spectacular. So here's hoping that it will ship on January 15

This was posted a couple days ago: http://www.dealerscope.com/story/story.bsp?sid=83287&var;=story. The gist it that Samsung has stated that they are still on schedule of releasing this player in time for Christmas. Also, they have reduced the MSRP to 799 which means that at some point Amazon should lower its price to somewhere in the 600 range--(Just a guess about what Amazon will do). So this is good news indeed!

I pre-ordered this model as opposed to the LG combo. The reason is because the Samsung upscales DVDs to 1080p, while the LG upscales them to only 1080i. While this certainly is not a deal breaker to most, it is to me. Also the LG is $200 more.

I pre-ordered when it became available again. Everything I read regarding the BD-UP5000 has been very favorable. A user review on the AVS forum for the new LG combo has pointed out some flaws, especially with SD DVD playback. I only have room for one machine and the Samsung looks to be worth the wait. I hope it is not delayed further.

I ordered mine on April 7th of this year and I got my confirmation e-mail from Amazon today saying I will be getting mine on Thursday May 8th. I'm assuming that anyone who ordered it after or at the same time will not be getting a release date delivery and those who ordered it before April 7th will either get theirs on the release date, Wednesday, or Thursday.

September 18th was the date I got when I was attempting to pre-ordered it. OF COURSE I CANCELLED! This is already in retail stores, albeit for $10 more, but COME ON! 2 months wait to save 10 bucks?!?!

Can't wait. I've read as well late March early April. I wonder if the price will stay the same if not-pre ordered.

I also would like to know. Surely Amazon has SOME idea when they are getting it, if its up for pre-ordering....

Is it okay to pre-order when there is clear confusion on the specs available. I feel its like buying a pig in a pork. I guess the best option will be to wait until the specs are updated.

Thanks, karaoke.The day after I posted this, it was "In Stock" again (of course--like washing your car to make it rain). But now it's back to pre-orders. Very odd. But I won't worry about it now whenever I decide to order now.

I wouldn't put too much into that response from Amazon. Right now they need to guarantee delivery on items for Christmas so if they aren't sure on a release date then they have to say it won't arrive by the 24th. The thing that worries me is that you can no longer pre-order it. That capability is gone as of today. The way they are handling this whole thing is weird.

do you know if Amazon will honor the pre-order price we pay now? like when it does release/goes on sale, if the price raises, do we have to pay additional? i know if the price drops, pre-orders will get credited the difference..

well im super pissed cause i didnt pre order but never expected a jump in price before release. Sucks. I might just pass on this and get the PAX version. id rather have the original but heck if i pay extra for something not even released yet

Oh, awsome, i was going to ask the same question. Is the 6qt version available for pre-order? Me wants one!

It says "sold out" but it's really just available for pre-order. From reading various websites, it looks like it's going to be available early next year some time (Feb?). If you can wait, it's probably worth waiting for. I really want one for Christmas though, so I'm thinking about getting the original version. It seems to get great reviews!

I would also like to know the release date as they estimated the 8th of March, which is now 2 days behind us. If it is soon enough I am also going to purchase, but not gonna wait weeks on end for it. Thanks!
