I own a Samsung home theater system. It is a Blu-ray player that has a built in amplifier so you just hook up the speakers directly to the unit. I need to upgrade to a 3D capable player but I don't want to have to pay for new speakers. Where can I find a 3D capable Blu-ray player that has a built in amplifier with analog speaker outputs?
I know that this can be done. You can swap players especially if they are the same brand. I just need to find somewhere I can buy the main unit.

Avdaddy is right, such home theater in a box systems do NOT work when separated from parts of them.
Junk your POS system, spend $500 to buy something GOOD, and then you'll be fine.
But, cheap just gets you... CHEAP.
A decent baseline HT receiver would cost $200, like a Pioneer 521K at Amaz*n, add in $215 for a Polk 6750 5.1 speaker system, about $40 for the needed cables and speaker wires (16 gauge speaker wire, a subwoofer cable, and two HDMI cables.), then plug in your 3D Bluray player and let the good times roll.
I will second it, why do so many people buy crappy POS HTIB systems ? Why not just flush 300 $1 bills down the toilet ?

Blu-ray player??

Im planning on buying a Blu-ray player since the HD-DVD empire collapsed along with my HD-DVD xbox 360 add on ( tough lesson to learn) but which is a good blu-ray out there to buy under 500?? I heard stories about long loading times, and i have seen plenty on youtube vid's, my HD-DVD player did not have that problem, and then i heard about firmware updates. I dont wanna spend half a grand on a blu-day player and find out its out dated on the firmware. Any suggestions on a safe purchase.
forgot to mention, i wouldnt mind a PS3 but all the games i like so far are on 380 and future games coming up exclusive for 360 like Gears of War 2 and Resident Evil 5, Ninja Gaiden 2 etc.. although ps3 sounds logical, i wont have time to toggle between ps3 games and xbox 360 games.
correction i mean 360, lol.. not 380.
Its kinda odd to me, buying a gaming console system just for the Blu-ray, although being able to download firmware on it does sound good.... are there blu-ray players out there that can enable you to update the player, or should i just wait till' blu-ray players catch up with firmware updates.

The only other 2.0 player on the market right now is the Panasonic DMP-BD50, which can bitstream and decode all audio formats, has HDMI 1.3 and analog 5.1 outputs and an ethernet connection for BD-Live content and firmware upgrades.
However, because it's the only 2.0 standalone player on the market it's still at a premium. If you wait until Black Friday or the last few weeks leading up to Christmas you'll get a standalone player for $199-$249 and it very well may be a profile 2.0 player like the Sony BDP-S350, which is being released soon and will get 2.0 compatability via firmware upgrade.
The PlayStation 3 is an excellent option, even if you don't use it for games. You can install Linux on it, browse the web with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, download movies on it which don't have DRM, has HDMi 1.3, fastest load times, great picture and sound quality.
Good luck - the more Blu-ray's you watch the harder it gets to watch DVD, even with a great upscaler which the PS3 definitely is, scoring 120/130 on the HQV DVD test bench disc.
