Say you make concrete life jackets, almost completely worthless.

Unlike Toshiba, who is the ONLY HD-DVD manufacturer with rebranded Onkyo and Venturer players. The BDA is facing the same issues a company that licenses their intellectual property to other manufacturers do, they risk dealing with products not manufactured with the best specs. That's why Apple likes to manufacture their own hardware for their OS and software. I'm not saying Apple is perfect because they've had problems too. I'm saying that there's a more efficient way to control things when you're the only one handling the manufacturing of products based on your intellectual property. Unless Samsung does what MS did with its defective Xbox 360; extend the repair warranty, only specifically related to the RROD, to three years. If you buy a product that is continuously plagued with problems, and have issues dealing with the manufacturer, then you as the consumer have the right complain or try to use the legal system "if necessary." Unfortunately, when it comes to class action procedures, the lawyers win, and the plaintiffs get a box of cracker jacks.]]>Feb 9th 2008 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/]]>Feb 9th 2008 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/

If you were contemplating a switch to Blu I personally would have advised you to stay away from Samsung from the beginning. Most BD owners would tell you to go with a Panny, Sharp, Pio, or PS3. The Panny 30 or above seem to be the consensus best players out there now. Don't let Sammy's bad practices scare you away from the other manufacturers. ]]>Feb 9th 2008 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/Feb 9th 2008 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/Feb 9th 2008 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/Feb 9th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/Feb 9th 2008 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/Feb 9th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/Feb 9th 2008 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/

This guy will take it, sign some papers saying he won't sue them again or some such nonsense, and be on his merry way with enough case to buy a few new BR players but not enough to do much else.

OR Samsung's legal team will fight tooth and nail so that they don't look like they will settle with everyone who has a bad BR player, which could look like an admission of liability and spur a class action from several disappointed consumers.]]>Feb 9th 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/Feb 9th 2008 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/i guess next will be something along "my bd1.0 won't play bd2.0 discks!"]]>Feb 9th 2008 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/samsung-sued-for-defective-blu-ray-players/
I buy movies for movies. And 97% of bluray users own a PS3 according to recent statistics. So this effects a vast minority.
