there is a post on Samsung's 2nd Gen 1080p BD player will cost only $799 and will include a better video chip. Has anyone heard anything about this? If confirmed, it will certainly be a good news for those who intent to get a BD player.
with the anticipation of this price, it would be very disappointing if the Samsung's official announcement on the price is more expensive!

opps added: price revised to $799 from $499.
i dont see the 5.1 or 7.1 analogue output in the quote below. usually if its supported, it WILL SURELY be included in the press release.
