It works flawlessly after a firmware update

I've had a standalone Sony Blu Ray player since June 2009 years and never had a problem with it. From time to time I get a rental CD with problems but I put them in other players and they have problems in the same spot so this is definitely a CD. I bought this model as my third (after my Playstation 3) player in June. 2011. It doesn't have the funny (albeit nonsensical) flapper door that my 2009 player has, but it seems Java stuff commonly used on Blu-ray discs, run slightly faster (probably it

Pros

Cons

Blu-ray vs Roku XD - Cable Dish Replacement - hulu

ray player and the roku xd device to replace our Uverse TV plan. I was trying to decide on one device and read the reviews for both. We have a network in our house so I didn't have to worry about Wi-Fi issues. I increased the download speed to 12 MB. I first got the roku xd, set it up with Hulu Plus and was amazed at the quality.

Pros
  • The free downloadable Media Remote app for your iPhone, iPad or Android phone turns it into a universal remote control
Cons
  • So far so good

As such, there are several issues that I have observed and noted below. Disc Playback Picture and sound were what I expected, but given that I'm using a smaller (26-inch) HDTV and don't have a surround sound system, that might be useless praise. Playback is easy, and by default the device turns off when…

Pros
  • Enjoy brilliant high definition Blu-ray movies or upgrade your DVDs to near HD
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
