In less than 2 hrs I had this packed up and shipped back to Sony. I set it all up and it immediately wanted to do an update of the firmware. Everything appeared to go fine. I shut it off and went back to watch a movie and it would not boot. System error. Sony said send back. I could have sent it to Amazon and got a new one quicker but I decided Sony could tell me what went wrong and send it back updated. I wanted to make sure it was not me that caused it. Sony sent it back 2 weeks later. The wireless card went bad. Now that it is back and repaired it seems fine. Only time will tell.

My big, huge actually, disappointment is that it lacks many features I had expected. I looked this model up online and it used to have all of these and now does not. No zoom. No frame by frame. No slow motion. My smaller disappointment is how slow it is. The picture quality is great.

This item belongs on the island of misfit toys. I too have owned almost everything Sony since I was a kid. But this model will play DVDs great but will not even recognize a blu ray once I pop one in. There is also no way to stream NetFlix yet it has built in WiFi. So its a bummer I was expecting great performance out of this puppy. But it took the Apple route and rushed it to the consumer market without properly testing for bugs.

Another non-standard circus. Why do disks cost more? Regarding blu-ray titles, if you put lip-stick on a pig, it is still a pig.
