Hot on the heels of Sony’s BD Live firmware updates comes Samsung’s BD-P1500 BD Live-capable firmware. All owners need to do is update the firmware via the players GUI or by downloading the update on Samsung’s website and then burning it onto a CD to enable BD Live. This update might signal a turning point in Blu-ray’s sales battle as it joins Sony’s BDP-350 as another sub-$300 BD Live-equipped Blu-ray player.

While no one will tell you that either the Samsung BD-P1500 or 40-inch LN40A550 are top-tier products, when bought together on Amazon though, they make one hell of a deal. Best Buy’s website states they sell the TV alone for $1,399, and even Newegg lists it for $1,189. But on Amazon, you are getting the TV along with a Samsung Blu-ray player capable of being upgraded to BD-Live later on. Can you smell that? That’s the sweet smell of saving moolah.
