It takes too long to open/close the DVD holder and the remote is somewhat picky. Blu ray is great, but the device isn't as good. The Playstation version of the blu-ray works much better.
Dont buy the HDMI cable before you know if your TV will accept it. Otherwise so far so good. So far so good. I spent $50 on the cable and never needed it.
This sucks because it was a Christmas present and now we are out $250. I had the unit for 18 days and purchased from Capital Electronics, the unit has stopped working and Capital said they will not help me because they only will doing something for the first 15 days of purchase. It sucks because when I tried contracting Sony they said I have to deal with the purchaser for the first 30 days of purchase.
Other reviews indicated slow to load CD &I agree. I'd check others out first. The picture clarity is great. Hard to open & Close the disc drive with the remote.
Once the update, which is dead simple to do, was done it worked flawlessly. would work on any given DVD - what worked one day would not work the next. However, even now it's slow - it has to boot up much like a PC and then movies have to "Load". This is because I faught almost a year with it till the new firmware (Java) update came out. It's worth the wait and maybe there will be another update in the future to speed things up. Some days it would lock up so that only unplugging the unit could reset it.
But once it's going, everything works and the picture and sound out of a Blu-Ray DVD is far superior. I'd like to say that this is a fantastic Blu-Ray DVD player, but I can only say that it's good. Before the update, you didn't know from one day to the next if a DVD (Blu-Ray or standard) would play or what features (fast forward, skip, Top Menu etc). You must have the latest firmware for this thing to work.
