Slow But Steady Doesn't Always Win

Pros Made by Sony
Cons Made to work slow
Recommended it? Yes

We waited impatiently for the HD versus Blu-Ray war to end before upgrading our original DVD player. When Blu-Ray was declared the winner it seemed to make sense to buy a Blu-Ray player from the father of Blu-Ray. As far as picture and sound quality the decision was fine. But for all but the most...

Pros Good remote, easy setup
Cons Slow startup, price
Recommended it? Yes

To go with the new HDTV, my mom recently bought a Blu-Ray player. She went with the Sony BDP-S300 without doing too much research other than the price. Having said that, I wish she had done a little more research because there are a few issues that might have prevented her from buying this unit -... Read full review »

Pros Multi-format, ethernet connection for software updates
Cons Some movies take a while to load
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this player in June and have had great luck with it. I've given it a lot of use since I was out of work for 3 months after knee surgery. Not only do the Blu-ray and HD-DVD movies look great, but so do all my regular DVDs. It upconverts all standard DVDs. The only downside is that my... Read full review »

Pros Compatible with playback of Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, and DVD. Improved detail, clarity, color &...
Cons Speaker test needs a fix, as does 100Hz crossover for analog multi-channel audio output.
Recommended it? Yes

One day in and I can't find a much of a downside to this player.

Hooked up via component (sorry no HDMI on either my TV or AV Receiver) to a 1080i 65" Mitsubishi WS-65907 (viewed from 12 feet) via an Onkyo TX-DS989.

No problems with playing back any media so far.
