Samsung's skinny Blu-ray player uncovered
Stop staring at the plastic wrapped photos from our pre-CES tour and have a look at Samsung's totally uncovered 1.5-inch thick Blu-ray player. The BDP4600 is sure to kick off an all new battle of "thin for thin's sake" amongst CE manufacturers, but honestly, given the emphasis on design or complete lack thereof on most Blu-ray hardware so far, this can't come a moment too soon. What does it do? Your guess is as good as ours, until Samsung decides to let loose with the specifications.

















She's looking for more girth.
When does Samsung skinny model get uncovered?
That's a lovely sweater she's wearing.
But, it would look even better crumpled up at the end of my bed.
well then after i beat your ass and take her, leaving you crumpled at the end of the bed, you can have her sweater.
@ konshuss. Then what - are you going to take her back to your cave? Honestly, dude, this is the 21st century - you don't get a woman by beating up the guy she's currently with. But you'll probably learn that in high school.
it was a mere play on words, good sir. but thanks for the pickup advice, i'll be sure not to DRAG them to my cave.
That's a nice blu-ray player, but what is she holding?
judging from her expression she doesn't know either, it's more "I get paid for smirkin and I think I'm real good at it"
more like, "Oh jeeze, they're taking a photo for the Engadget blog. Now I'll be the butt of a bunch of sexist jokes that the teenage gadget nerds feel confident in posting under the cover of complete anonymity. Oh dear, I've thought butt."
She's holding a BluBook Air. It slices and dices, well, cake at least.
Holding? Why is she pinching it?
@RD, She needs to go black then. lol.
She doesnt seem to happy by the thinness.
i guess this isn't a component that you could stack another component on top of.
actually, its the kind you stack on top of other electronics
Screw the bluray player, I'll take the girl! O_O
Something wrong with you? Screw the girl, screwing the Bluray player just sounds painful.
Samsung always have nice women on their ads, makes you wish you were there huh? :))))))))
Where is the uncovering?
I want one. What's the article about?
Why not use the Apple TV instead? It's thin and offers HD video a whole lot cheaper!
What part of Bluray pla...oh screw it.
Compression is great for your 128mb Rio mp3 player.
Not so great on HD video.
Just 'cuz apple doesn't use Blu-ray doesn't make it useless.
Sure, if she's delivering it personally, I'll take Apple TV instead.
I think its just a squashed PS3.
I lol'ed...+1
glossy shiny top with rounded edges = fail. this is supposed to be a home theater component, and you cant even put something on top of it? and it will collect dust like nobody's business. yech
I wasn't aware we were racing to see who could make the thinnest Blu-ray..???
What's with the top of that player? It looks like a scanner. I do think getting Blu-ray players smaller is a good thing for the adoption of Blu. My Sony player is almost as big as my 15 year old Sony stereo components. Q.
"The BDP4600 is sure to kick off an all new battle of "thin for thin's sake" amongst CE manufacturers" ???
Since when Engadget have "the people" not wanted smaller, slimmer and faster?
1. Technology should be always getting smaller and more compact.
2. If LCD, OLED tvs are becoming 0.5-2" thick, most people would want to compliment a nice fancy tv with a small blu-ray player opposed to one the size of an old vcr.
never did understand why blu-ray/dvd player come out that size, i mean really sure they have a bit more in that you get with a pc bluray player. but not to size of vcr players. and its not like its a form factor that you wanna keep. like stereos in cars. I never made any sense to me
They need to stop putting hot chicks in these ads with wedding rings on.
I would buy more 1.5" Blu-ray players if I knew I had a chance with the girl in the ad.
Wait...who am I kidding?
Way to get everyone to scroll up. And soon to follow are "dude, you're looking at her hand?" comments.
Why does it always have to be Asian chicks showing the tech wares? What ever happened to the blond bikini models from the car shows?
Can't get any skinner than this.
Everythings moving to size 0.......even gadgets
looks cool BTW
With space in the entertainment cabinet increasingly at a premium with all of the gadgets, a thinner BR player might be worth the money. Especially if you also have the DVR, game console(s), a VCR, audio equipment, George Foreman grillin' machine, etc. in there.
Do you need a George Foreman grill and a PS3 in the same cabinet?
They produce the same level of heat.
If they can sell it for $150~$200, it'll sell.
Come on...she's worth at least $500.
Clock the ring finger jackasses-you're talkin' about someone's girl.
is it just me? it's thinner, but the overall size is much bigger than regular size bluray player or dvd player.
how are you going to fit that beast into the regular A/V shelf ?
is that a real picture of the player?
"Yeah, I'm posing with your waffle iron here. Do I get paid now?"
I gotta say, Samsumg makes some sexy products..
I have a beautiful 26" monitor right next to me.. It looks even better than the Apple ones (coming from a Mac fanboy!)
And all the other countless Samsung things I have in my house look awesome as well!
Now on to that girl..
Wish I had her next to me..
clearly shes unimpressed by 1.5 inches
I love Blu-ray Disc Player.
