Summary: Good, but... 2008-12-28
Comment: I'd like to say that this is a fantastic Blu-Ray DVD player, but I can only say that it's good. This is because I faught almost a year with it till the new firmware (Java) update came out. Before the update, you didn't know from one day to the next if a DVD (Blu-Ray or standard) would play or what features (fast forward, skip, Top Menu etc.) would work on any given DVD - what worked one day would not work the next. Some days it would lock up so that only unplugging the unit could reset it. Once the update, which is dead simple to do, was done it worked flawlessly. You must have the latest firmware for this thing to work!!! However, even now it's slow - it has to boot up much like a PC and then movies have to "Load". But once it's going, everything works and the picture and sound out of a Blu-Ray DVD is far superior. It's worth the wait and maybe there will be another update in the future to speed things up.

Summary: Misunderstood BDP 2008-11-17
Comment: Actually purchased blu-ray player with sony card reward points. Worked fine without any issues, until recently. Player would shut down once movies started from the menu screen and was a compatibility issue with new blu-ray disc versions and the DTS-HD. Went to blu-ray.com website to download firmware upgrade for the BDP-S500 and works like a charm now.

Summary: Nice picture, but awful operation 2008-11-16
Comment: I own this Sont BD player along with a 46" HDTV and a Sony 7.1 Receiver. When I finally get the movie up and running, the picture is great. The problem is that it takes forever to turn on the player and open the disc tray (try that in the store before you buy) and load the movie. Last night, I tried playing the new Hulk movie and after ten minutes of waiting, the movie turned off my player and restarted. Then I tried again and ten minutes later it did the same thing. Now, I've just wasted 20 minutes and can't watch the movie. Sony should take this one off the shelf.

Summary: Would you look at that?!?! 2008-10-26
Comment: You won't believe your eyes. Blu-ray is here to stay folks and this machine gives me my fix! Remember to update the firmware and learn to be patient with the slow door response and you won't be disappointed with the entertainment!
