What's great about it: Wireless wifi, great picture quality, two hmdi outputs, 2D to 3D conversion
What's not so great: Coupon for free Avatar had expired!
This is an excellent player and setup was easy, including the wifi settings. The box indicated that a coupon was inclosed for a free copy of Avatar 3D (and this was also emphasizec by the salesman), but when I opened the box I discovered that the coupon had expired and Panasonic was unwilling to honor it. Therefore I think it was overpriced at what I paid. I would recommend this only at a more competitive price point.

What's great about it: Main functions work well
What's not so great: 3D conversion has much to be desired
I bought this for the 3D conversion. I already have 2 Blu-ray players. This one offered 3D conversion. My VISIO 3D TV does no have that function. However, the resulting picture was very jittery away from the center. It was unwatchable on my TV. It may work well on other TVs but not mine. I didn't need the other functions so I returned it.

great bluray player if you have the patience to work the internet contect aspect of it. takes a while to load and browse netflix and amazon. Not my internet speed either, I bought a Roku from BB that runs very quick and smooth.

What's not so great: nothing so far
after my older blu ray crashed I looked long for a replacement , I wanted to go with a Panasonic because my last one was,( the crashing was the result of a overloaded blu ray I believe) and I needed 2 HDMI outs, also this one played the disc in question like a champ

I can now watch a bluray in two rooms on two TV's when i have a large crowd, and that was important to me, as I can only fit 4 in my home theater seating. Other than that, its also a great size, works good, and has a nice UI.

The Panasonic 3-D Blu-ray, does everything that it is supposed to do, and with ease. In fact, I didn't bother to read the instructions; all is very obvious. I'd recommend it to any movie and/or music lover.

What's great about it: small and light weight and fits about anywhere
What's not so great: Hype on seeing movies in Blu-Ray
I have been wanting a BR player for quite awhile, so for Christmas our son got us one and bought my 2 favorite movies. We did need to go out and buy an HDMI cable since it didn't come with one; you would think it would for the price of these things. We also have a Panasonic surround sound system, so it took a bit of reading the instructions on how to set that up. What's weird, is that the BR remote is NOT compatible with our surround remote! So we have to use two remotes to watch a movie. Now that I've experienced watching Blu-Ray, I have yet to tell the real difference between it and our regular DVD player! "Avatar" has been the only movie which I could really tell the difference. I would definitely recommend this BR player but not sure what the big hype is all about.
This product has... not included the hdmi cable, is not compatible with other remotes

What's great about it: Easy to set up, lots of bells and whistles, beautiful picture, very small and slim
What's not so great: No direct "subtitles" button on the remote, firmware update takes several tries to get going
Even though this has 3D capabilities, I'm not using it for that. I just hooked this up last night, and it is one great blu ray player that replaces a terrible Samsung blu-ray player that had so many problems.
This is the newer BDT-310 flagship model ahead of the Panasonic BDT-210, and the one advantage is it has 2 HDMI outs instead of one, which is great for me when I want to turn on the receiver to blast the speakers for a movie, or when I don't want to turn the receiver on and have it run straight to the TV set from the direct HDMI input. I read a lot of reviews of the 210 model that raves about this model, especially on CNET, and they aren't wrong. It's a great player. But many have complained about how they are not able to get on Netflix. I had absolutely no problem getting on netflix.
It did take several tries to download the updated firmware, which you'll need to do the moment you bring the player home. I have it connected to my home wi-fi and it works easily. The picture is stunning. I've read some sites that says the model also has Hulu Plus, but I have not seen it. And one surprising option, which I wasn't aware of, is you can download the free Apple Ipad or Iphone APP to control this player with an add'l remote control. As for the skype, and everything else, I'm not into all those bells and whistles...but for the price paid, this machine is a steal to match to my 65" Panasonic plasma.
One other note...the machine price varies from store to store. Best Buy actually cut down the price for me when I showed them how it was going for less. It all depends on the salesperson you speak with.

What's great about it: Picture quality and dual outputs. Best player on the market.
What's not so great: Some features in setup (i.e., chroma) could have been better explained in the owner's manual.
Great player that rivals the high end players (i.e., Denon). Both 3D and 2D picture quality are superb. Easily connected to my Panasonic VT20 Plasma and JVC surround sound system. Crisp clear sound. 2D to 3D conversion adds depth but does not recreate the viewing experience of watching an actual 3D BD (typical of all players with this option). No problems with Netflix after applying 1.63 firmware update. Best player I have seen.
I would recommend this to a friend!
