The reports, corroborated by retailers, speculate that the company canceled the player because it was "unable to meet the October 31 deadline for BD 1.0 specifications."
The BD-UP5000, originally scheduled for an October release however will not be cancelled but is delayed until at least December.
Samsung will be the second manufacturer to release a dual HD player, following the somewhat popular but expensive LG BH100.
