Slow But Steady Doesn't Always Win

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2009
The Bottom Line: Get a Great Blu-Ray picture with awesome sound - if you are very patient.
Review: We waited impatiently for the HD versus Blu-Ray war to end before upgrading our original DVD player. When Blu-Ray was declared the winner it seemed to make sense to buy a Blu-Ray player from the father of Blu-Ray. As far as picture and sound quality...

Your First Blu-ray

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2009
The Bottom Line: When prices come down, this is a great starter model to look for as your first Blu-ray.
Review: To go with the new HDTV, my mom recently bought a Blu-Ray player. She went with the Sony BDP-S300 without doing too much research other than the price. Having said that, I wish she had done a little more research because there are a few issues that...

Fantastic Results Most of the Time

Date of Review:  Oct 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: Stunning visuals and sound but difficulty with less than perfect disks.
Review: I bought this unit from BestBuy to go with my Hitachi Plasma unit via HDMI connection. The results are nothing short of scintillating unless the DVD won't play at all. The problem initially manifested itself with Disk 3 of Planet Earth, a first...

Works, but has some issues

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: I gave this a 4 star rating based more on value. Sony needs to do a lot of work and should offer trades on ALL current Blu-Ray players!
Review: My reference system(S) for this test:
Mitsubishi HC1500 home theater projector
120 inch Elite Cinegrey Screen
Denon/SVS/Nad/Magnepan sound systems

Overview
Sony and Blu-Ray claim that they were forced to market too...

EasyShare M853 is a good option for the beginner or budget-conscious

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good for beginners and people who want to take basic shots but like to play with frilly scene selections. A lot of bells for the price.
Review: I've been holding out on entering the digital camera world, but I was getting ready to take a trip to some small villages in Guatemala and needed something that could fit into my pocket. My big Cannon EOS Rebel film camera does not exactly fit the...

Remember 286 processor? It's that slow.

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buy a different model, this one is too slow.
Review: If I knew I would have never bought this. Picture is awesome no question about it. But the only possible way to use this player is to put the disc in, hope and pray that it will be compatible and not corrupted. Then you have to sit back relax and...

Sony BDP-S300

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: From what is available in this price-range, the Sony is a smart choice.
Review: Having owned DVD players since they first arrived on the market, I was familiar with 'red' DVD playback (480i/480p), but had not used either the now defunct HD-DVD or the Blu-ray formats. I had garnered as much information as I could prior to our...

Terrible player DO NOT BUY

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2008
Review: I recently set up a home theater costing in excess of $50K, and purchased an SDP-S300 on the recommendation of the installers/designers I hired for the job. It has been nothing but trouble, apparently due to HDMI compatibility issues with my Anthem...

Great Picture - Disappointed Otherwise

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: I am keeping it, I just hope it keeps working. If you just want BluRay Buy a PS3, you get blue ray and games. Can't be as buggy??
Review: I have owned many Sony products and have always been very pleased. This is the first to break that chain of success. I purchased this with a Sony VPL-VW60 projector which is amazing, (see my review on here as well), and I am not happy with the...

Incredible image quality

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2008
Review: I could go on-and-on about the impressive quality when playing Blu-Ray discs on this player. But we all know that already.

My big gripes about this player is how slow it is at doing anything. When you first power it up, it takes about 15...
