This blu-ray player is so easy and convenient to use. My two-year-old knows how to eject and pop in a DVD and it's ready to go.
Even if you don't put in blu-ray DVDs the player will still enhance the color image on your TV screen. I love the Wi-Fi access to get to my amazon account,

As advertised, this Sony Bluray WiFi player dies a great job and I would definitely recommend this to others. My current Samsung LCD is not a smart tv, so this player fills the bill. I can now utilize Amazon Prime video as well as Netflix without replacing my current TV.

I was looking for a very good Blu-Ray player that was a step below the 4K technology out now. I was not interested in 4K since I have a great Samsung 1080p and am not looking to go to 4K yet, This player fits my needs, performs great, and the movies look great.

For the price I paid, this is player is great. The app layout is definitely an improvement from my other (last year's model, BDPS3200) Sony player. It is a 3D player with many built-in apps. It is probably one of the best 3D blue-ray player in this price range (on sale) without the 4K..

In general this works well but it is really slow especially at startup. For example, after the device is turned on and you get to the home page, it takes almost 30s to a minute for it to connect to the internet.
Other than that, everything works great and I had no problems with it so far.

This player has many features, but we only use the disk and thumb drive capability. It plays DVD, Blue ray, and thumb drive videos flawlessly. I like the size of the box, and it is easy to use.

I was looking for an inexpensive bluray player for the Man Cave. Geek Squad showed me a couple options. Sony won out because of the wi-fi. Quick set-up. Very easy to use. Thank you Best Buy for matching prices.

I love the ultra compact size. It is also fairly quiet. The discs load quickly. The Wi-fi works well. But the thing I like best is the selection of smart apps available. There are tons of them. I also like that you can use the tv as a web browser.

This unit is thin, compact and silent. It was reasonably priced and a great companion to my 65 inch LG. These players are constantly getting smaller and making it easier to find a place for them in the entertainment center next to the TV.

This blu ray player is compact and works better than the samsung player I brought before this one. I had to return the samsung one since it was making noise when I put the disk in it plus the samsung player restarted itself sometimes. I always liked Sony.

Easy to set up. Works great. Replaces an older blu ray player. Works much faster. Only downside is you there is no display on the unit so you can see how much time is left in the movie or what track you are on. Have not set up the wifi but looks simple

I purchased this 3D Blu-ray player when I got a new Sony TV and it works as intended. The Wi-Fi feature is great and the 3D is amazing. The one negative, if you can call it that, is that it is active 3D and the glass cost between $30-$40 per pair.

I found the Sony brand very easy to install with the Sony television and sound bar. The remote control is universal because they all work together. The quality is excellent and ease of use is important to my family and myself.

This is a great blu-ray player that meets my needs. I use it to watch movies on a Sony TV. The setup was very easy, including connecting it to WI-FI. I haven't tried streaming or 3D, so I can't speak to those functions.

This is a great Blu-Ray player AND obviously a lot more, yet it costs the same as most other Blu-Ray players, so who wouldn't prefer it? It's a great little machine, does double-duty, and takes up very little space.

This machine is just what it advertises: simple setup, great sound, sturdy, it is exactly what I wanted. It is meant to be a stand for a TV that rests on a surface, though it could be used otherwise; but as a stand it's simple and attractive. Sound quality lives up to Bose's expectations, though I do not pretend to be an audiophile or to test its limits. A great extra is the remote: I have a cable box from one manufacturer, Television and Blu-ray player from others, the remote from this sound system is the only one that will operate all of them! There's a trick to programming it that I had to call Bose support to learn, but they do have that support, with people who speak pretty good English and who know their products.

This little guy does just what I need it to do. It plays 3d movies and does it well. I also like the fact that it can stream Netflix and the like. For the price I just couldn't pass it up.
