Samsung Killing Second-Gen BP-U5500 Dual Format Player Before It Sees the Light of Day
Posted by Matt Buchanan at 4:45 AM on March 7, 2008
Samsung just cancelled their US$599 second-gen dual format Blu-ray/HD DVD player, the BP-U5500, which was due out soonish. Looks like LG gets the dual player market for HD DVD flotsam all to its self. We bet they're thrilled. [PC World]

This Samsung Universal was supposed to be one of the better blu ray players out there.

Considering the 5000 includes the HQV Reon and has already dropped below the 5500's intended price point, this doesn't surprise me at all.
