Many appreciate the inclusion of 3D and Wi-Fi capabilities, along with the streaming apps and overall performance. The affordable price point is also frequently praised. A minor drawback mentioned by some users is the lack of a display on the unit itself.

    Went from a PS3 to this player for streaming. Overall it is not bad. Nice small remote. Good user interface. Playback quality is as expected. Price was reasonable. Player is pretty small. Maybe an inch tall. Maybe 8 inches wide. Much smaller than my old player. Plastic casing, cheap materials. Very light. Dedicated Netflix button is nice for my son. I do not believe this unit is dual core but it is pretty fast. I do not watch broadcast tv, so I live in these apps. Mainly Netflix, Hulu, vudu, YouTube, and Amazon prime instant. All work perfectly for me. I would buy it again.

    I've always had good luck with Sony products and this blu-ray player is no exception. It plays standard and 3D blu-rays with no problem and easily connected to the internet via built-in wireless. We have a prior model Sony blu-ray player and it's clear they've improved the online apps interface in this newer model. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase.

    This Sony Blu Ray player was able to play some disks that other drives 'hiccuped' on. I'm very happy with the quality and the price.

    Good Product So Far

    So far, I have been happy with my new Sony Blu Ray player. I like the new quick startup functionality. Even with the unit powered off, I was happy to find that by pushing the Eject button the remote control, the unit powered on and the tray opened practically immediately. One thing I miss though, is the ability to play Region 2 (Japan) DVDs. My older Blu Ray player (a different manufacturer) let me do this. One more thing I like is the sharpness of DVDs. There is not as much rasterization in playback as I have seen before. Overall, I am most satisfied.

    We had no idea how many programs we were going to be able to get free. Wonderful alternative to paying for cable every month.
