Nice picture, but awful operation
Reviewer: Winesong, Amazon3 weeks ago- Overall 4
I own this Sont BD player along with a 46" HDTV and a Sony 7.1 Receiver. When I finally get the movie up and running, the picture is great. The problem is that it takes forever to turn on the player and open the disc tray (try that in the store before you buy) and load the movie. Last night, I tried playing the new Hulk movie and after ten minutes of waiting, the movie turned off my player and restarted. Then I tried again and ten minutes later it did the same thing....

This does everything it's supposed to do. It plays Blu-ray dvd's like magic. But, I can't believe I'm going to say this, if you are going to buy a Blu-ray player, for over $300, just buy a ps3 instead. Read more

I am very pleased, and that I was able to get the closeout pricing as the new BD Live units roll in. It is also firemware upgradeable. Superb picture and sound.....well made, it seems to be built with more ridgidity and isolation damping than the newer units replacing it. Very satisfied! Read more
