SONY BDP-S300 IS A POOR PURCHASE
I purchased the player from Circuit City about 6 months ago and applied several firmware dowloads to see if it would cure the very long load times and the frequent lock-ups. I always purchased SONY products, but they missed the mark on this product. .... Read more

The Sony Blu-ray Player Gimmick
I was foolish enough to buy into Sony's Blu-ray player gimmick back in March when they put HD-DVD out of business.

I don't know what the big fuss is about regarding the BDP-S500
I've read many reviews on the Sony BDP-S500 and there's been a ton of gripe in regards to the speed and load time of the player. I'm not sure what people are used to (or what their expections are) but this DVD loads just as fast as any player I've ever used. There is no lag time on this player that others have experienced with this player.

Load time is around 3-5 seconds per disc and once the disc starts up, no problems....maybe Sony updated the software recently.

Great Player!!!
I purchased the player on 10/6, shipping was very quick. After I installed the new firmware, it is awesome, still takes a minute or two for the player to load up the movie, but the picture is excellent and the sound is awesome. I looked around before I bought this one, this to me for the price beat everybody. .... Read more
