    Will the new Samsung combo count for the Toshiba and BDA's 5 Free Discs Deal?

    I just checked www.bluraysavings.com. It appears that they have started a new promotion as of October 1st, 2007 and it appears that the Samsung BDP-UP5000 is not going to be one of the new eligible players for the new 5 free promotion.

    hdmi audio connection

    I am not sure what player you are using. On the PS3, you need to change the audio output to linear PCM from bitstream to get the 5.1 PCM audio (uncompressed) I have the Marantz SR4001. Hope that helps.

    Are blu-ray players region free? Is the PS3 region free?

    I would guess that the PS3 would follow suit with the failed PSP in that the movies are locked, but games are region free. This is just an educated guess.
