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