not impressed good for Blu-ray player

It's been a few days. Not particularly impressed. The menu navigation is rather clunky. Played a few clean, unscratched, like new DVDs and they hung up a couple of times. So this problem alone could lead me to return the device. I'm using it on an old HDTV that only has an HDMI input, so I'm sharing it with my cable TV media player and Chromecast via an HDMI switcher. This creates some confusion with bonuses, but I think I can handle it. And I couldn't connect to the internet, but that could be

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons

worked reliably for 5 years

All features worked well until the 5 year mark when Internet apps (Netflix and Amazon, even YouTube) stopped working properly. I was able to access these applications, but every time I tried to play one of them, the video stream wouldn't appear and sometimes the player would restart. DVDs still played without problems, and internet audio applications (mainly Pandora) continued to work. I bought a newer BD player and everything is working again, so it's not a network issue.

Don't waste your money on Boost models.

I bought a BDPS1200 and compared it to a Stock Club Boost model BDP-BX520. If you don't need Wi-Fi or 3D, use the BDPS1200. In the comparison test, the picture and sound quality was the same on my high-end Panasonic plasma home cinema system. Subtract everything from the Up model and both players function and act exactly the same. I sent the X520 back. I'm very glad I saved $30 on some unnecessary/non-working features. If you need Wi-Fi, use BDPS3200 or similar. If you need 3D, choose BDPS5200โ€ฆ

Departure from quality

Having owned it like this for a whole year I would say that this is a pretty poor quality Blu-ray player. It works out? Of course. movies play well. But it's not the usual Sony quality I expected. It's smooth on the outside. But the buttons on the top feel flimsy and don't press down very well, so they don't always open or turn on properly. The funny thing is that you notice it after using it. actually makes everything better except the movie playback. This works great for Revain videos. Itโ€ฆ

  • Good thing

  • So far so good

A few issues with it: UPDATE

UPDATE: My comments below still stand BUT I LOVE THIS PLAYER. I was surprised to see that I have been using it for 5 years. I even found a new feature that many other players don't have: I have a bunch of old CDs. I bought a large box in 2010. Have almost never used them. But I can download old public domain movies like Screaming Skull and burn them to CD and Sony will read the disc, identify the MP4 file and play it. ------------ -------------------------------------- -------------- I boughtโ€ฆ

  • Quality build

  • Repair

Amazing menus and apps

The best Blu-ray player I've ever had. Sony usually excels in their products, but this one goes way beyond what I thought. I had a Blu-Ray from another company for about a year when the remote broke and I couldn't get it to work. I bought this player as a replacement and am more than satisfied. It is regularly updated and has many uses, including new services such as WWE Network and Revain streaming. It also has apps for channels I didn't know about like free movies and sports. It also has many

Pros
  • a handy thing
