What's great about it: blu ray wifi and apps
What's not so great: slow response time

For me it was just too slow to repond and the text input was a hassle.
the picture was great and apps were good tho. It just lagged. I just spent a few more bucks and got the sony google tv =)

Blue ray is terrific. Love that I can stream online video content. Just wish I didn't have to shell out the additional $70ish to give it the w-fi access. (It's wi-fi ready, but doesn't have the component built in to pick up the signal.) Otherwise I would have rated 5 stars.

Very angry with this device. it played Tron once and then I could not play rented Blu-Rays from any source. Called the help line and they told me it was the discs. 5 discs from 2 sources, hard to believe all of the discs were bad.Now it has decided not to play standard dvds, even some from my collection that played a month ago. I am certain that the firmware upgrades are the cause. I can't say enough how disappointed I am with this player!

What's great about it: Price, number of apps
What's not so great: Netflix not in 5.1, audio setup for SACD was confusing
For my a bit older 720p HDTV, this works great. Love the networking features and Netflix. Picture quality is excellent, and I can stream 1080p mkv files using Mediamonkey as my DLNA server. Blu-rays load quickly. A minor issue I have is that if you stop a blu-ray or a media file, it doesn't remember where you left off (not sure if there is a way to put chapters into a mkv file and whether or not this unit would see them). This is a bigger problem with streaming movies from my PC as I have to fast forward to find were I last was. Not sure why windows media player won't stream mkv (it plays them on the PC) and that's a pain because I have to make sure mediamonkey is running on the PC, while media player's DLNA server is always on, well, as long as the PC is running of course. Plays SACD files and outputs over HDMI. Other minor issues: won't stream FLAC; no 5.1 surround with Netflix; no Blockbuster steaming app. Getting the audio to work exactly how I needed (have an older receiver) was tricky, but there are plenty of forums out there to help you out, like AVS forum. Manual wasn't much help in this situation and a call to Sony tech was pointless (they were clueless and wouldn't offer assistance as I didn't have a Sony receiver).
Also note: this unit DOES NOT have wifi. You must hard wire either to a remote access point or to your wired network. There are solutions out there, but this unit is mainly for people who don't need wireless. Spend a few bucks more on the similar 580 if you need wifi (note the wireless N on the 580 is on the 2.4 Ghz frequency, not the 5 Ghz).

What's not so great: No WIFI device. It is "WIFI ready". YOu still have to buy the Sony WIFI external adapter for $70.00 plus. Yuk!
I am a Sony fanatic. So when I bought this one nd got it home, I was so ready to watch me some movies. To my surprise, this one is "WIFI READY", not "WIFI BUILT IN". So after investigating that it would cost me another $70.00 + for the external WIFI addapter, I boxed it up and hauled it back to the best buy store. There I bought the other model, BDPS580, (VERY confusing why Best Buy even sells this WIFI ready model) and could not be happier. Sony rocks! But they sure missed the boat with this "WIFI ready" concept!

What's great about it: About the same price as just the media player. Was able to trash my DVD which was twice the size.
A few months ago I was searching for Internet TV capabilty and paid $79 for the Sony Media Player. I saw this one which had the same functionality but included a DVD\blueray player for $89. It is WI-FI ready, but not built in. The built-in was on sale for $129. I ordered a USB Zoom adapter on the Internet, plug it in and it worked without any fuss. The last I saw the price had increased but still worth a look.

What's great about it: Great picture for the price
What's not so great: MUST have internet connection to complete setup.
I gave this unit to another family member as a gift then discovered that it's IMPOSSIBLE to watch a movie before completing the setup on the unit...which is IMPOSSIBLE without an internet connection. Unfortunately, my cousin doesn't have one. We took the unit to a neighbor who let us connect it to get it registered. It now plays movies fine, but what a pain to get it started. It's frustrating with manufacturers give you no way out.

What's great about it: Bravia sync features, 3Dcapability
What's not so great: No 3D stream from Vudu, No NHL Game Center Live, Remote shortcomings
Tried a few other 3D players before sticking with this one. To the best of my knowledge this is the same as the sony s-580 without the wi-fi. Couple knocks, no 3D stream from VUDU, no NHL Game Center Live. The Netflix interface is different than other smart devices still mixed on this one. Would be nice if the remote was back-lit and able to control TV and receiver(both sony products) more completely. A good value for the price.

Got a great price on this player for Black Friday. My only problem was that I did not read everything clearly on the package to know that I had to buy a USB Wireless adapter to use with the unit...and not only that, I had to purchase a specific model...but that was all my fault, not the players...

What's great about it: Great Video Quality
What's not so great: Expensive WiFi Adapter
I liked this Blu-Ray a lot. I was extremely excited to open it and when I finally did and hooked it all up the screen lit up and everything worked fine. The only thing I mark this product down on is the fact that Sony requires that their users to go out and by a WiFi device driver to use the wifi that is on the player, which btw is $60-80. So yes, It's a great DvD/Blu-Ray player, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is just simply looking to buy it for that reason. If you're looking for one that comes with WiFi drivers / devices pre-installed, I'd look elsewhere, as you'll save money that way.
