Samsung Misleads with World’s First 3D Blu-ray Portable

Samsung’s BD-C8000 is the world’s first portable 3D Blu-ray player. It is also a pretty pointless and misleading waste of time.

13 August 2010 -    

Despite the 3D part of the name, the player doesn’t show any more than plain ol’ 2D on its own screen. For the extra dimension, you’ll need to hook it up to a 3D LED television for best results.

If you have a 3D LED TV, it’s pretty likely you already have a 3D Blu-ray player. This leaves the new Samsung player in a rather queer position, especially as it costs $500, or the price of an iPad. (Or 3 Wal-mart fixies and a couple cases of beer. -Ed.)

Now, it’s not all bad. The BD-C8000 has a 10.3-inch screen and Wi-Fi, which combine with the power of widgets - or “Samsung Apps” - to bring you Blockbuster, YouTube and others. You won’t be storing any movies on there, though: The player has just 1GB memory. If you’re really into movies, might we suggest buying an iPad instead, and skipping the battery-sucking spinning disk part altogether (battery life is claimed to be three hours, which really means 1.5-hours).

If you absolutely do need the capability to maybe, someday hook up to a 3D LED TV and never stray far from a PowerPoint, the BD-C8000 is available now, through Amazon.
