I've still got 625 points to go before I hit 8,000 which should take about 6-8 weeks but if I read of more people getting the 1200 I might keep going for 11,000 points to get the Samsung 23" LCD hdtv & buy my own blu ray player when I feel like it (& a decent one with an extended warranty). Luckily the DMR program has been extended to the end of January '09. It was supposed to end mid '08.

To be honest I think the only BD standalone worth its salt is the Panasonic DMP-BD50, which will be available in 1-3 months for ~$499. It is based on the BD30 except it has the full profile 2.0 compliance (final BD spec), can decode all nextgen codecs, and it likely will also have the BD30's LFE bug fixed from what i've heard. So, assuming all goes well, I'd buy the Panasonic BD50 and use your Disney points for something else. Samsung seems to be having problems with their BD players.
