I read ALL the other reviews and came to my own conclusion… I just wanted Pioneer I’ve been using it a lot lately. Terminator Salvation; The Dark Knight; T2; Superman, The Last Starfighter… all AMA-ZA-ZING in blu-ray!

The player itself is a no-brainer. Getting everything set-up is easy. The tray does NOT rattle when it opens… it opens just fine The buttons are NOT flimsy… they are buttons and the lighting is JUST fine… I can read everything easily. The conroller could use a zoom button… but that’s it, otherwise it’s easy to use and works automatically on your TV. Some blu-ray’s start right up, but like most players… it takes a moment my T2 blu-ray starts up as fast as my regular DVD’s… ssshhhhhhhhhhh… it’s a secret So aall-in-all… this Pioneer blu-ray player is awesome!

Excellent product, makes even the image on a regular DVD brighter and sharper. The remote is very easy to operate. The pause function is superb. The image looks as clear as a still shot. Even the sound that is liked to the surround system is sharper. Many times we have heard a knock or a whisper and thought there was someone actually behind us. It was not difficult to set up. Looked at many manufactures before deciding on the Pioneer BDP-120 1080P Blu-ray Disc Player. We choose the right product.

Slowest piece of crap since my old 386 computer. The only thing the supposed “quick start option” does is consume power year around as it requires a low power standy power on to “work”. It takes about 15 seconds just to turn this thing off. And, if you actually want to play something on it, you better have a lot of time to kill. If you hit pause, be prepared to wait several seconds for it to actually pause the disc. If you want to skip to a different chapter you need to punch at least 6 buttons-FUNCTION, STEP DOWN, ENTER, CHAPTER NUMBER, ENTER, FUNCTION. This thing makes blurays look like dinosaurs compared to DVD.

I’m comparing this to the PS3s Blue Ray feature as well which I’m use to… This unit is very anoying because it is soooo slow. Bringing up menus, switching video resolutions, loading & ejecting, even turning it off and on takes for dang ever. When you have to sit through preview trailers rather than trying to ff or get to main menu it won’t be long before you start pulling your hair out. If you accidently eject, might as well go pop some pop corn before you get your movie back to where you were watching it. Resolution don’t set after confirm, have to do a display reset while stopped. USB flash drive memory expansion out the back like a big ugly sore thumb that catches on everything, which it seems to have to have as told “to speed it up” and its still slower than a 1 legged turtle.. ..total crud… I’d return it or throw it out a window if it were mine. Makes me glad I have a PS3 to play my Blue Rays & DVDs.

Only positive was once I got the resolution set finally, it did seem to look pretty decent in HDMI 1080i while playing.
