The Best.
Pros: Fast load times, BD-Live, Excellent picture quality.
Cons: none
This is my first Blu Ray player and the only one I will ever have. Why? Because this player is simply amazing. Fast load times, excellent Blu Ray picture and sound, upconverts my dvds to 1080p to make them look better, has BD-Live, an excellent match with my Sony 46V4100 HD tv, and on and on. Cant say nothing bad about it because its an excellent Blu Ray player. If you want an excellent Blu Ray player that delievers everything your looking for while watching Blu Ray movies then grab this player. You wont regret it.

Sony Blu Ray Player
Pros: Outstanding picture on blu ray and even makes my standard DVD's look awesome, very attractive unit, reasonable price
Cons: None thus far
I got this player to go with my Vizio 37 inch LCD 1080P TV and I could not be happier with it. The picture is so clear it still amazes me after almost 3 months. Blu ray is so much better than a standard DVD It truly takes movie watching to a whole new level. The upconversion feature even makes my standard DVD's look great. For the best picture quality possible make sure you connect it with an HDMI cable. I would strongly reccomend it to anyone.

Great Blu ray Player!
Pros: Great upconversion! stunning 1080p picture!
Cons: USB port in the back is too small
this player does a fantastic job at upconverting regular dvds to near HD. I sometimes forget that it's playing regular dvds instead of blu ray discs since I have a lot of old movies in DVDs. Too bad this player doesn't have a big USB port for a flash drive to go in, but you can always just hook up a usb extension cord then hook the usb that way to do the BD live. Other than that this player is great!

Unreliable
Cons: Stops playing Bluray discs after moderate usage
I've had my player for about a year, during which I've used it infrequently at best. It will now only play normal DVDs, and will not recognize Bluray discs at all. These things should be recalled

"upscaling" claims misleading
Pros: plays Blu-ray titles as it should
Cons: does not upscale via component cable
Cons" says it all for me. I bought this BD player to replace an LG upconverting DVD player for use on an older HDTV without HDMI (or DVI). Though the manual (and most websites with specs) indicate that it upscales via component, that is unfortunately not the case. Plays BDs just fine, but does me little good on the hundreds of DVDs I still have.

Blu-Ray
Pros: faster than most Blu-Ray, Picture
Cons: Not the best design for fast forward/rewind, still sloww
Every so often when you fast forward a DVD it sets the sound off from the video for me. By about 1/4 second it looks like the movie is being dubbed over! I got mine online using an Xbox wireless adapter that has ethernet out on it, and use a switch to split it between my xbox, cable box and this blu-ray player. I know how demanding blu-ray quality is, but I still find the player takes a while to load them up and the whole interface of changing tracks and fast forwarding is a bit clunky. Its a far better player than some that I have seen, one in particular I called the company asking how to do the firmware updates, and was told the ethernet port on it was not capable, the Sony player makes updating a breeze, it makes changing settings easy, I like having a subtitle button on the remote for quiet scenes. the optical out seems to create more lag than the HDMI cable so using my TV sound while using stereo doesn't work for me.
