What's great about it: Loads of options for a decent price
This blu-ray player has absolutely everything I was looking for in a player. This is my first dedicated BluRay player, after upgrading my old DVD player. I had considered going with a GoogleTV device, since I wanted access to Internet-based content. But for significantly less money, I went with this Panasonic model, and am quite happy. It comes with such a wide suite of apps for online access that I have not needed to download any additional ones. It had everything I was looking for, including Netflix (which even has its own button on the remote), Hulu Plus, Picasa, YouTube, Pandora, etc. I have not come up short on any connectedness yet.
The menu system to access all of the content is super easy to use. It shows a limited set of options on each screen and essentially a "More..." to get to more of them. It's quite intuitive. My only criticism is that there isn't an easy way to see everything that's actually available on one screen; you have to just keep hitting "More..." to explore what's available.
One area I haven't tried yet, because it doesn't seem as easy to configure, is streaming from my home PC. Primarily, I'd love to be able to stream videos that I've taken from my iPhone or camera to the TV. The instructions lead me to believe this is somehow possible, but it doesn't appear to be simple.

What's great about it: 5.1 decodeing for Netflix movie when avalible
What's not so great: nothing yet
This unit is user friendly and has lots of extras such a local weather, youtube, picasso, and most important to me Netflix, it will also link up to my windows 7 computer and allow me to stream pictures and music.
the picture and sound quality for Blu-ray movies is the best Ive seen for a player in this price range, It definately out performs the sony, and samsung blu-ray players I have. For those of you that find themselves watching more Netflix than Blu-rays as I do the picture qality is excellent and this player will also output the audio in 5.1 dolby digital+ via hdmi and optical digital output to your av reciever. I should note however not all Netflix content is avalible in 5.1, but when it is available it is very nice to have, my sony or samsung will not decode 5.1 netflix movies.

What's great about it: clear picture, easy set up
What's not so great: drops connection sometimes
Best DVD player I've ever had, and my first with 3D & Blu-ray capabilities. I do not own a 3D television however, so I don't have much of a say there. But I love the apps and being able to watch Netflix right from my T.V.

What's great about it: Fairly painless setup.
What's not so great: Local Audio from UPNP/DLNA servers could use more formats and bitrate capabilities.
I bought this unit because I really like Panasonic when it comes to Video products and because of all the broadband services available to it.
I've watched quite a few movies and TV shows on this unit. With broadband it can be a viable alternative to cable for some, especially with Hulu. VUDU offers streaming movies, some in theaters currently and some even before theaters get them. VUDU has three quality levels you can buy or rent, SD, HD and 1080P HD with Dolby surround etc.
You have Shoutcast and locally on your home network it will find UPNP/DLNA servers and play SOME formats. There is room for improvement in this regard.
Oh, it plays BluRays just fine as well.

What's great about it: Multiple uses
What's not so great: Wouldn't play some home movies that were a .mov
Easy to hook up, works great, fun to use. I like the built in features and the capabilities to retrieve pics and music from computers and smart phone that are on the home network. Also plugged in an SD memory card from camera. It is a very clever machine. It Wouldn't play some digital home movies though. I also use the Netflix, Hulu, Apps and more. It worked a little slow until I got a faster modem. That made a huge difference.

What's great about it: Picture, load times faster than most, setup...
What's not so great: Main Menu layout, no instant play/resume, no subtitle button on remote, boggy but still usable Netflix.
I love the player, setup, picture, etc...! I don't love however that I have to sift through the previews/menus when I hit stop and then play again. Most DVD players have a play/resume function, why does the higher technology not? I can resume most discs when I finally get to the top menu, but having to get there everytime is annoying (maybe this a standard blu-ray thing, I dont know...) Netflix play can be a bit boggy, but having it is still convenient if I have the player on instead of the Xbox.

What's great about it: Beautiful picture and great sound
What's not so great: Only plays MKV and MP3 files (not avi, mp4, mpeg, flac etc.)
Great Blue Ray player! Beautiful and easy to use menus. Setup was a breeze. Only plays MKV files. It does include Netflix as well as many other network sites (youtube, hulu plus, etc.). Best Buy's features pages are frequently not correct. Also, this player was on sale for $139.00 but the store didn't know that. They had to jump through several hoops to finally get the sale price that was listed online. If I (or anyone else) wasn't aware of the web site price, I (and anyone else) would have paid the store price of $199.00.
Best But really needs to work on their web site when it come to properly describing their products and their pricing. I love Best Buy, but you need to do your own research before you purchase any computer, audio, or video equipment. Don't rely on what their product page lists as specs, features, etc.

What's great about it: Reliable, Plenty of Apps Available, Good read speeds.
What's not so great: Laggy network content interface, sometimes loses Internet connection
1.) Sometimes the Internet connection will go out. If I have it off for a couple days, I'll turn it on and it'll say it can't connect to Netflix. Running the easy network set-up will get it working again, but it's a pain and I've encountered it a couple of times. Maybe the DHCP lease expires and it doesn't release automatically in the background.
2.) I've noticed the pictured will cut in and out occasionally for a couple minutes for no obvious reason then stop. I'll be watching a movie and it'll cut in and out, then I'll see it intermittently a minute later and that'll happen for a couple of minutes before returning to normal. Might be the blu ray disc, the tv, hdmi cable or receiver, so i can't totally blame the player.
3.) Most annoying thing is the Internet content page is embarrassingly laggy. It does work, but it could be much more polished.
Other than that, I'm very happy with it. I wish the Netflix interface was a little snappier, but it works ok. Haven't tried any other service on it.

What's great about it: Netflix,picture quality,no monthly rental to use it.
What's not so great: Remote a bit clunk y for searching movies,etc.
As of Jan 2012,my area cable monopoly (Time Warner) and aspiring MLB team owner,raised its monthly digital box rental fee on my 4 yr old box to $10.00 p/mo,and my service went up $5.00.This smart Blu-Ray player was on sale for $139.00 with a mail in freebie for Avatar.The set up was easy,only the WiFi setup was an issue,more of a "duh" moment after I figured it out. The remote works great with a disc,but Its not as fluid as using a smartphone,tablet or an upgraded remote when using Netflix, Vudu,Hulu,etc.There's also a few more channel apps included (YouTube,music,sports,news.etc.) some free,some not. It also adds more when it has a system upgrade.You'll most likely not use some of them (U-stream?? Two weather channel apps? Why two? Is one of them lying?). It integrates seamlessly w/my Samsung LCD.I guess I should thank T/W Cable (Good luck with them Dodgers,sorry I couldn't help you pay for 'em!) for the price increase,as it ended up saving me $15.00 a month,w/ better movies & old tv shows,without commercials,or Kardashians.
