As reported last week, Samsung Blu Ray players were stymied by the new Fox Blu Ray movie releases that utilized BD+ copyright protection.
It was initially reported that a firmware update that addressed this issue would be a few weeks in the making. Samsung BD-P1200 owners will be happy to hear that a firmware update for the Samsung BD-P1200 Blu Ray player is now available via the player's ethernet connection. Owners of the Samsung BD-P1000, which does not have an ethernet connection, will have to contact Samsung to receive a firmware upgrade disc to make their BD+ woes go away.
It's no surprise that Blu Ray, with it's unfinished specifications, is giving early adopters fits. Kudos to Samsung for taking care of their customers so quickly in addressing this issue.
