Sony BDP-S300 Blu-Ray Player

The Bottom Line: Great quality hardware, but has some show stopping bugs.

Review: I bought the Sony BDP-S300 as my first player as I journeyed in the realm of Blu-Ray. I was already a HD-DVD owner, twice over, with the Xbox 360 add-on then an Toshiba A2.

The Bottom Line: Pass. Unless you find this for the price of a standard DVD player, it's far too much, for a slow player without the features

Review: Early pricing on this model was $400 and sadly, not worth even with the new lower prices.
The early models of the Blu Ray players are slow. And, I do mean slow.
The issue with early Blu Ray players makes it a wonder the format beat out HD...

Review: Without a doubt, the single worst piece of electronics I've ever purchased. Takes FOREVER just for the machine to turn on. And while it's "loading" you get a series of LOUD annoying clicks for several minutes. It never Ejects when you want it to...
