    Can't speak to durability as I have only had it a few days. However, I can say that the small size and footprint is nice. The unit takes up very little space compared to the monsters of the past. The functionality of the unit and remote is great. No complaints. Sony quality at an affordable price. The proper HDMI cable was in the box making connection to the TV a snap.

    I bought this same exact Blu-ray player about 3 years ago for my parents and it has been great, but now it's around $30 more expensive for the exact same product. Other than the price, it is a great buy, even a Best Buy! Not many features, but it is reliable, sturdy and has a small footprint.
