This review is from: RCA BRC3108 10-Inch Portable Blu-ray Player, Blue/Black (Electronics)

I've been a blu-ray user since 2005 and I entered through my PS3 wow!!!! Portable Blu-rays have been sparse/limited ablilities and very expensive UNTIL RCA produced a very economical blu-ray player at $349. This was very competitive and reasonable to spark my curiosity.

I did heavy research and was skeptical (at first) a year later I looked again what was available and the cost.!!!!! RCA's price dropped over $100 and now even more soo I said lets see this hype and if this player really lives up to its claim.

BOTTOMLINE: This Blu-ray portable/main (jack of all trades unit) does almost everything perfectly!!!

In a nutshell;

PROS: 10" screen produces an incredible HD picture (1024x576 lines), excellent sound, and vivid color!! Has an internal battery that holds from 2 1/2 (using screen) to 4 hours (without screen use)of viewing per charge!!!

NOTE: without screen use is for external HDMI cable house big HD screen tv.

True 1080p HDMI output to hdtv or projector!! Note: this is the ONLY PORTABLE that provides full/true 1080p HDMI output picture and sound (5.1 & 7.1 dolby). So this can also be your home base Blu-ray player (using AC adapter) with extensive full function remote control!!!

Cons; these are weak cons but after-all they are still there. Something you won't use for the most part. Carrying case used for a player case to a headrest. very flimsy and frustrating setting it up. Note: most headrests won't work effectively. Ethernet output N/A ! NOTE: going to RCA software up grades lists BRC3108 N/A at this time. This feature was for future applications, maybe?

This player is very flimsy construction makes it NOT a CHILD player (under 10 unless they are very responsible)

NOTE: to use the HDMI output you must buy your own cable. It is worth it the output is amazing just like the big boys!!!

I recommend this as your home/portable or introductory blu-ray player it does all the visual/sound wonderfully. It can go everywhere, versatile and quiet!!!

Seeing and listening is the proof and believe me this the REAL DEAL!!!! Buy NOW! NOW! NOW! Enjoy!!!!!! Ps - the USB flash port for pictures is great too!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not good for kids, January 1, 2011

This review is from: RCA BRC3108 10-Inch Portable Blu-ray Player, Blue/Black (Electronics)

This is a pretty good blu ray player, but if you are buying it for children there are some drawbacks. There are a lot of functions that you have to use the remote control for - such as doing anything but playing the movie from the start. You can't select a scene without the remote. This is a problem for smaller children or if you don't want to use the remote on the road, in the car etc. Also, it does NOT remember where you leave off if you stop a movie part way through. This is a problem with kids who only watch it for short periods at a time. Add this to not easily getting back to the right scene and it is frustrating - especially when most devices remember where the disc leaves off.

Otherwise it has great sound, a large screen, and a great picture.

UPDATE: Finally figured out how to get it back to where it left off. Very tricky, but if you hit pause, then stop, then turn the player off it will remember. This helps a lot and would have me upgrade my original rating to a 4 star - but for the fact that it took a long time to figure out something that should work automatically.
