Samsung BD-C8000 Portable Blu-ray Player Is 3D Capable, But Don’t Bother Packing Glasses [3d Blu-ray]

Samsung debuted the area\’s first 3D-capable Blu-ray player today, but don\’t get too fascinated about relaxing to a 3D movie on an extended flight. The BD-C8000 doesn\’t offer 3D on-the-go, just when connected to a 3DTV.

That doesn\’t mean it\’s not a handy little player on its own right; its plays 1080p on that 10.3-inch screen, has built-in Wi-Fi and HDMI, and might access Samsung Apps whenever you\’re so inclined. And while you\’re not traveling, the BD-C8000 can handle 3D playback when it\’s attached to a 3DTV and you\’re wearing the requisite 3D glasses.

One point of outrage: the battery life is listed at three hours-which just about certainly means a respectable amount less. So when you\’ve probably got enough juice for an honest-length flick, don\’t bank on making it during the Godfather: Part II. It\’s available now for $500, along side the BD-C7900 (featuring two HDMI outputs), BD-C6800, and BD-C5900, all home 3D Blu-ray players priced between $230 and $400.

Samsung\’s also adding to their home theater line-up, leading with the HT-C9950W-7.1 channel 3D surround sound, ipod/iphone dock, two HDMI inputs, a wireless dongle, and a \” premium volume wheel\” -so one can be available in October for $1800. It\’s meant as a companion piece to that super-slim C9000 LED TV, but you go right ahead and put whatever TV on it you would like.

It\’s a all portion of an immense 3D push by Samsung, which after today offers more than 30 3D products.
