 Excellent player for the price... |

I was a little wary of this player because it was being sold for so little money. I bought this player at Costco for $99.99 and I figured if it wasn't a good player, I could just return it due to Costco's great return policy.
Well, I've had the player for over a week and a weekend of heavy blu ray media usage and this player has been incredible.
Set up was a breeze. My house is set up with wired cat5 in every room, so I didn't need the wireless feature. After hooking up the HDMI, HD sound, and the cat5, I fired up the player and I did the easy set up routine. After that was done, I went to set up and the player told me there was an update available. Down loaded the update and everything was ready in less than 10 minutes.
Tested the player with Avatar and the picture and sound were incredible. Next, I went on Netflix, Amazon, Youtube and tested everything. All the sites worked fine after initial sign up. I only have a 6mbps dsl, but it seems to be more than sufficent.
All in all, this is an amzing player for the price and I'd highly recommend it to anyone. To be honest, I'm thinking of going back and getting another one for the bedroom. |
Quite an improvement over my old Sony S350

I bought this unit ($130 at Costco) hoping it would be a significant improvement over my 2nd generation Sony BDP-S350...and my expectations were greatly exceeded...and the S350 was a top player in it's time. Like the S350, this will play any Blu-Ray or DVD I put into without a problem...including those I create myself. Unlike the S350, this also plays MP3 CDs and DVDs...and does a pretty good job at it. But it's the improvements on the video quality that surprised even me...and I'm very picky. I have a 67" Samsung LED RPTV that is about as detailed and accurate as any of the new Edge-Light LCD sets...and just about as bright. And it's quite a bit bigger and so shows the flaws more easily. Not quite up with the best Plasma sets, but none of them are as bright. This player seems to have solved most of the complaints I have about most Blu-Ray discs. Particularly motion-blur (which by the way is not solved by the higher speed LCD sets that make films look like video games). Motion blur is most often introduced as a result of using Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) to clean-up somewhat dirty film from which the discs are mastered. I find it the most annoying artifact of any of the possible artifacts (and there are quite a few). And this player seems to fix nearly all of that. Not sure how, but it does...and without making the film look like a video game. It also greatly sharpens the picture and images (without any obvious Edge Enhancement). I think it does it by stabilizing the images and their borders. This is very noticeable. Plus, it pushes a color a bit while keeping it natural looking and improving the accuracy of flesh tones. It also firms up the contrast, without adding hardness. The images just pop right out. And it also does a job on Black Levels and low-light conditions. It's really obvious and there is so much more detail. At least to me. Quite a bit better than my old S350. About the only thing it doesn't have (or do) that I'd like, is provide analog audio outputs, so I can take advantage of the new lossless audio formats (on Blu-Ray) via my old Denon receiver.
And so what if it doesn't come with wireless streaming. I mean, why would you buy a Blu-Ray player if you're willing to settle for the HIGHLY COMPRESSED low-res (and artifact laced) images you get with streaming video at low bit rates. |
It's great!

This bluray player from sony is the same product as the BDP-S370 and comes boxed with a hdmi cable.
For $110 shipped, it was an open box item but perfect condition makes this a winner for me. |
Blu Ray player OK, but lacking functions

I haven't used this much for Blue Ray DVDs, but so far no problems.
But there are a couple of issues that really compromise this player:
1) It doesn't come with wireless communications built in and so far I haven't found a generic usb wireless dongle that works with it. So if you need wifi and have to buy Sony's add-on communications device, then you might as well just buy a higher end model that already has wifi.
2) all of the above makes this especially important: BD Remote on your iphone or ipod won't control the unit unless it's connected to wifi.
To do over, I would have bought a model with wifi built in. |
