bought one from sony last week. wouldnt play the new bluray live dvds. after 5 phone calls and 2 updates the admitted in will never be able to play the newer formated discs.i can return for credit if i pay the shipping costs.

This Blue-Ray player has a decent picture but it is FAR too slow in modern-day standards. It literally takes Five to Ten minutes to turn on. It's so bad that I actually turn it on then go and make my movie popcorn while it's "powering up". Nine times out of Ten the popcorn is ready before I even get the "sony" startup screen on my TV. Don't get this.

As everyone else has stated, this unit is SLOW. But in case you didn't get the hint, here's one more review for you. I couldn't be more disappointed as to how long it takes to power up, its slow response to the remote and reading a dvd.

I have a Harmony remote with a "Movietime" activity. I push my button, the TV and receiver pops on, the lights go out and... ... ... ... we sit in darkness for 2+ minutes. Comical really...

Let me say this: It's slow, slow, slow!!! It will get stuck only for you to have to restart it from the begining, so wait an aditional 10 min. every time.
My advice, wait till you can afford a decent one.

I find it very frustrating that the blu-ray players in general require updates. Buy a movie on the way home. Get home only to find the disc will not play. Very sad for "Blu-ray".

I could not get my Sony Blu-Ray player to work and called for warranty service. I live in Charlotte, NC, a larg city, but I was told I had to pay $40.00 shipping to send player to a distant city for servicing and then pay $40.00 shipping for its return to me. Outrageous. I bought the "same" player with another brand name for $50.00 less and it works fine.

sony always good but i don't know their this blu ray player.i upgrade this almost 5times but still cannot play morden disc.why spent $300 for something that i cannot use.anytime i see it i get mad.sony needs to refound some of our money.but hey, i still like sony products.i will try their new blu ray players.thanks

This is a good blu-ray player from
Sony. But some blu-ray movies take 2 to 3 min.
to load.

But it is one of the low cost blu-ray players
out there.

So get it today!
