Rating: - No PIP but who cares ?
I've owned this player for almost a year and there's nothing wrong with it. However Blu-Ray has now moved on to include Picture-In-Picture DVD commentaries. This player does not have the necessary hardware to show Picture-In-Picture. So if you want PIP then you want the more recent Sony BDP-S350 which is currently the same price. Though I believe you need to buy a memory upgrade for the BDP-S350 for PIP to work.
Also be aware that the 4 Free DVD Offer that is currently showing ... Read More
Rating: - Is HD All That Good ?
This player did really well upscaling my DVD's but the leap from that to HD films on Blu Ray wasn't so big.
We watched the standard Matrix and then a Blu Ray I robot and couldn't really see any difference.
Maybe this is a comment on Blu Ray or I Robot rather than the Sony player, I haven't watched enough HD stuff to confirm my findings.
Rating: - slow start up,still no free movies
superb picture and sound .very good value for money.
Very dissapointed with Sony one of the key attractions was the 4 free dvds promised in 28 days (Ha Ha) .
28 days long gone and still not here ,rang Sony and they will try to rush it along they SHOULD be here in 3 weeks .
Watch this space.
Sony shame on you
Rating: - Pick up a bargain.
Now that the new S350 is out, you can pick one of these up for a bargain price. Remember this was originally a £400 machine aimed at early adopters and videophiles, and the build quality is therefore superb.
Picture quality is fantastic and I doubt whether most people would be able to tell the 1080p output apart from any other machine, as it is basically perfect.
Sony continue to support this product with firmware updates, now on version 4.20 and the speed of operation is ... Read More
Rating: - HD?
I've had this BDP S300 for a few weeks now & over all it's an ok machine. Yes it is slow to power on & load Blu Ray discs but I think this is a problem not unique to Sony machines. The picture is indeed sharper with richer colour but I'm not sure that it's the 5 times quality of DVD often used to describe Blu Ray or HD. I think where you notice the picture quality differance most is with lots of detail in big wide shots, no DVD compression started to kick in and cause break up or softness of ... Read More
