 Terrific Blue-ray player July 26, 2010
Barb
The quality of the product is great. It is fast and the picture is great. I also set up Netflix to steam movies and tv shows. It really is amazing how quickly it does the process and how good the picture quality is. The representative at Sony was very helpful in helping me set up the procedure.
 Happy for now. Internet appliances are new on the scene. July 23, 2010

So I was in the market for a BluRay DVD player. Once I began shopping, I became wooed by the idea of having a DVD player that was also a portal to my media accounts on the Internet. Namely, YouTube, Pandora, Amazon, NetFlix and Flickr. Well. I feel like I got the best of me. I read on some sites that all of these services were supported by this player. I also had the impression that this DVD Player was Internet ready and had WiFi.
After I received it, the discovery began, good and bad. First It did not have WiFi. I reviewed all documentation and 'official' descriptions. Nope no WiFi but it could have WiFi if I also Purchased the Cisco-Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming and Video Adapter. What a racket. My dog would have WiFi too If I strapped a solar powered wireless router to his back. Why this particular device was recommended I don't know. Perhaps Cisco & Sony are dating now. I figure I let myself be misled by suggestion and desire thus far, we may as well go all the way. I ordered it via Amazon Prime.
Once I connected the Cisco-Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming and Video Adapter. I got excited again. It was easy to connect to my wireless router (Netgear supporting N). Set-up of the services was quirky. Sony has jumped into Internet appliances with apparent abandon. As with many companies keeping up with the Joneses, we, the customer, pay to Beta test. It works but it's not elegant. I jumped the hoops to connect Amazon, YouTube. Then discovered I couldn't just connect to any old media service I wish. As of this writing Pandora is NOW supported. I'm sure more will come, eventually.
Pardon me this should be a review not a rant. The DVD Player works great, the Interface is a little slow to respond it seems, the necessary connections are straight forward. And I'm an avid user of NetFlix, Amazon, & now Pandora. Heck I've even re-discovered YouTube. This is really great. Most of the online services I use are accessible via the Sony Bravia rigmarole.
One last item, there is a lot of JUNK stuffed in the Internet Menu, that I would love to get rid of, but who am I kidding, I just bought a 'cutting' edge appliance that has most likely been paid for by all of those services that are jockeying for my attention. How I wish Sony was doing better than it was. Like it used to.
Were I to do it again I'd have bought the necessary hardware and taken the time to set up a Boxee. Which btw is about to release an actual, well, box.

So far good. I have good picture, sound and the streaming on Netflix is good. Glad I bought it
Excellent device! July 18, 2010

This device works well and completely met my expectations. The interface is Sony's usual XMB, which works well with the Blu-ray player. Blu-rays looked amazing, and even DVDs were impressive with the player's upscaling. The internet video features are nice options, although it can be cumbersome searching something on YouTube with a remote, especially without predictive suggestions. Over all, I was satisfied with this device.
