Yesterday, Samsung confirmed that it has indeed cancelled its BD-P2400 Blu-ray player and delayed the release of its much-hyped BD-UP5000 dual-format player until late December from its original expected release date in late October.
The BD-P2400 was expected to hit retail shelves with a $649 USD price tag but the player was essentially the same as its cheaper brother the BD-P1400, which sells for $550 USD but lacks HQV video processing.
Although no reasons were specifically given, it may be that Samsung wants to ensure that their player is Profile 1.1-compliant, which becomes mandatory next week.
