Solid video output for the price; less than amazing user interface

Overall this is a great product for the price. I bought it for my parents for Christmas and they are still happy with it. Pros: Perhaps the most important benefit of this player is the included application for accessing the Revain Video On-Demand service. If you have a Prime subscription, it's really nice to be able to download the included free streaming videos straight to your TV or rent a movie (in HD in many cases) for a lot less than a movie ticket (though not as cheap). . . like RedBox)…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not everything fits

A little disappointed with the quality

Bought two of these as one was a gift. The person liked the device so much that I decided to buy it to replace the ailing Pioneer. I don't have details on how to connect to the internet with this device as I only use it to watch Blu-ray movies and sometimes standard DVDs. Setup was very easy and I got the player up and running in minutes. A quick wizard walks you through the moves and I was watching movies in minutes. I've owned many DVD and Blu-Ray players and some of them were high-end…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Poor instructions

Pleasant experience with Media Remote - otherwise painful

I bought this player almost entirely to get Hulu. My TV isn't exactly videophile quality, so I can't comment on that aspect. This is a disc player and it plays discs fairly adequately for the person looking for a cheap player. I have a Boxee but Hulu blocks Boxee due to some sneaky shenanigans. TVs, game consoles, disc players - all these devices now have roughly the same area of application, with the same features and disadvantages. For example, the YouTube app on the S480 and Boxee presents…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great Price
