Customers value the BDPS5500's ease of use, excellent picture quality, and compact size. 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.

    Great Blu-ray player, but some minor issues

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Having all Sony products (Bravia TV, Sony AV Amp), the device has good compatibility with the others. Streaming from my phone (Xperia series) is supported well, although there is a slight delay (likely from a weak Wifi connection). The Blu Ray quality is great, especially in 3D. However, the menu and apps on the device have a laggy UI (independant of an internet connection), and although it resembles the new PS4 layout, it does not transition smoothly. If a software update could fix this, then it would be error free.

    Replaced my previous Samsung Blu-Ray player that was clicking constantly. After reading many reviews, I went with this Sony. Good: start up speed, picture quality. Bad: no LCD on the front to monitor how movie time, you have to use the on-screen display. We like to break for popcorn about half way through movies. I haven't tested the 3-D yet. It is NOT an upcoverting device - I'm using it on a 65" high def Panasonic plasma TV, so don't need upconverting.

    Very Nice Blu-Ray Player

    The BDP-S5500 is another solid Bluray player from Sony. The outside is small and compact with a flip down front panel. The outer shell of the player is aluminum, so its looks very nice. The remote is also very small and compact, a nice change from all the other larger remotes that populate my home. The GUI is very nice compared to others and makes navigating the apps very intuitive. I got the unit on sale and was a very nice buy for the price.
