This past week I picked up the HD-A2,and the BD-P1000 to try this weekend and early next week to see which one works the best on the various HDTV's in the house.While checking out at Crutchfields the sales rep said that there was a upgrade for the firmware on the Samsung,but they did not have the disk.I told them that I knew of the upgrade and would download it at home and burn it,also give me the chance to see if the firmware really has a affect on the Samsung.I have read in various forums of people checking the size of the file and the numbers that are reporting are way less than what I downloaded and burned last night. The firmware that I burned is---11.0 MB (11,607,133 bytes)-- has anyone see a file this large that they have applied?
