I actually did post at AVS in the 1500 thread and no responses yet.

I don't recall any problem discs for the BD-P1500, but I don't own it so I sure could have missed information on that. Having Samsung Blu-ray players prior to the BD-P1500 not play some discs was common although it has been a long time since I found one my BD-P1200 couldn't play and I have never found one my BD-P1400 can't play. For months, I expected my BD-P1200 to be unable to play any recent release properly, it took a long time for Samsung to provide firmware that works.
My best guess is that your problem is hardware related, not firmware, and that you should either return it or try to get a Samsung warranty repair. My two Samsung players run very cool, but I have seen many reports now that the BD-P1500 has possible problems with over heating. Considering what you paid for it, I would take my chances on a Samsung warranty repair once you have determined for sure that the problem isn't related to firmware or the disc. If it is determined to be firmware, your guess is as good as mine as to when Samsung fixes it.
