This is a new "deal" that did not exist with SD DVD players, so buying a BD player requires more confidence in the mfg than it does with SD DVD players IMO.

I am not the slightest bit worried about DRM, but firmware updates needed to play discs has been an issue and I don't believe this company can deliver. Of course, the same could be said for Samsung, but I am hopeful that ship has been righted. I have needed quite a few firmware updates the last couple of years to solve issues, and that is with both HD formats. The DRM will brick your Blu-ray player was one of many nonsense HD DVD war cries here and you won't scare me with that one, never could.
