 Great simple player |

This is my first blu ray player and it works great. Blu ray discs look great on it (I've been testing it out with season 5 of LOST). The player itself looks really slick. The load times for blu rays are pretty quick too. Something you may not be able to tell from the picture: when a blu ray disc is playing, the faint light at the top center of the front is blue, when a dvd is playing, it's white.
Note: as other reviewers have said, this player does not have advanced internet features like streaming Netflix. This is a non-issue for me, as I have other devices with those capabilities. Some people have also complained that the remote has no eject button... Who cares?... If I need to eject a disc I'm going to need to get off the couch and walk up to the player to take it out anyways...
If you want a simple, slick looking, inexpensive player, go with this one. |
Perfect for me!

| I already have a PS3 so I don't actually need those network features, I simply just don't want to use my PS3 to watch blu ray discs too often because my PS3 is backward compatible with PS2 & PS games, so I rather use it for games mostly, surprisingly I think this BX2 has better picture quality than my PS3, for real the color is more vivid and vibrant on this player and I got this on an auction for only half of the retail price. |

| I purchased this player just to see the difference that Blu-Ray makes as to a typical DVD player. I was blown away while watching on my 1080p HDTV. The picture was mind blowing. I had no problems with it, everything works just fine. You will love it. |
Fantastic player for the money

| Very satisfied with this purchase. The player has a sleek look and it is very quiet when playing blu-ray discs. Perfect choice for anybody who is interested in a more basic(not so many features) blu-ray player that offers top notch video and audio quality for the price. It worked perfectly right out of the box so I didn't even bother connecting it to internet for updates. Highly recommended! |
Great performance for what it is designed to do...

Outstanding quality. This blu-ray player produces a top quality picture. Setup was painless. However, if you like to add all devices to your cable box remote control, I could not get it to recognize this player. I tried all the Sony codes in the manual and then tried the learn process and the cable remote could not operate this player. Not a deal breaker but an annoyance. This player has BD Live which allows for firmware updates over your network but has to be hard wired. It has no wireless capabilty. It does not have some of the newer network features such as Net Flix, You-Tube, Pandora, etc. But with BD Live, maybe these capabilities will be added in future firmware updates. My unit arrived with .006 firmware version. Web site review indicated that version .007 was the latest firmware available. I called Sony for the .007 firmward disc and they sent it free of charge and it arrived in 4 days. Great service from Sony. There is a Quick Start option that I selected so I find this player to be very fast from disc insert to start of movie.
Bottom line: If you are looking for a top quality Blu-Ray player, you can't go wrong with this one. And the firmware can be updated as newer versions come available. If you want the latest internet features, they are not offered with this model. I would highly recommend this player. |
