According to http://www.productwiki.com/sylvania-nb500sl9/ The Sylvania NB500SL9 is actually a rebadged version of the Insignia NS-BRDVD (AKA Best Buy Brand).

Good info...thanks!

Rick, I'm curious to see if people think it was worth the money a year from now. Good find.

Great deal. From the reviews of the Samsung player it seems that the firmware update is already available. I got my order out the door for around $180.00 shipped. As far as it being worth the money a year from now? I dunno, its a gift for this holiday season so.......
It certainly saved me time and money. The recipient isn't paying for anything so it seems like a good deal all the way around.

No problem Rick. Happy to let my fellow cheapskates in on this great deal.

Consumer reports rates the Sylvania more highly than the Samsung. I would have like to have had a Samsung to go with my new Samsung TV so I could use a single remote, but I went with quality and ease of use over price and bought the new LG BD300. Almost by consensus it seems, LG is heads above in the Blu-Ray player market for now.

The AMAZONBD code deal is back, and better than ever. The list of eligible players is now half a dozen long, and it includes the Sony PS3, the BDS350 and the BDS550. I snagged the 550 and four good movies, with standard shipping, for $335.
