Better Than Dreamed! by Thomas V. Inman on amazon.com Jun 5, 2012
This relatively small BR DVD player, which I have alread dropped twice in my lab with NO damage, has ideal footprint. We've had 3 larger VHS SONY's, all served us well, until donated for BR capability. This unit performs faultlessly, with around-the-corner ...
 
Great Player for little money by Eric M. Zimmerman on amazon.com May 3, 2012
So far I have been able to use youtube, Pandora, crackle, aolHD, Slacker and NPR, with no issues. As far as file support goes AVCHD, M2TS, AVI, HD wave, MKV and MP4 have all played on this thing without any glitches. My only complaint with this unit is ...
 
Great player at an awesome price. by PnkQueen on amazon.com Mar 21, 2012
This Bluray player can't be beat for the price. Bluray playback is as impeccable as you would expect from Sony optics. My favorite option is the netflix app. I get crystal clear hd playback with a connection of up to 20Mbps. I also love the you tube app ...
 
Works great by Sony user on amazon.com Dec 7, 2011
Got this a week ago and I am very happy with it. Pros: It connected to the network right away, upgraded the firmware and I was up and running in 15 minutes. Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, Amazon Video, Youtube work very well and I did not experience any ...
 
Quick and easy setup - Great Price by BBC Watcher on amazon.com Nov 24, 2011
I bought the Sony blu-ray based on reviews from other sites and based on positive experience with a Sony Bravo TV. The blu-ray player was extremely easy to setup, and comes with a HDMI cable (most don't). Netflix, youtube and other online connectivity ...

No resume point memory? Am I missing something?? by Cueballio on amazon.com Jul 7, 2012
Every negative review seems to focus on streaming. But I have a major problem with Blu-ray playback. I set up the player and updated the firmware, and that went fine. Then I watched my first Blu-ray disc, which was a great experience except for one hugh ...
 
Internet features are buggy by Eric J. Cooper on amazon.com Nov 27, 2011
I have had this item for two weeks. The first thing I have noticed is that any time you want to use an internet related feature, you have to turn the unit off entirely (if it is on) and then turn it on again, kind of like re-booting it. Then if you simply ...
 
Sony won't provide universal remote code by elwood on amazon.com Mar 25, 2012
I just had a stupefying online chat with Sony customer support. I wanted the universal remote code for the BDP-BX18 DVD player. The codes suggested at the urcsupport website don't work. The chat lady referred me to a Sony site which says that Sony ...
 
Not good for Netflix by Mark R. on amazon.com Feb 14, 2012
I bought this player mainly so I could watch on-line Netflix shows. Unfortunately, the Netflix experience is pretty bad with this device. It takes a long time to get a show started. Depending on the show you pick, the video quality ranges from really ...

I could always return it if the product came out bad...I don't normally do a review, but so many negative reviews compelled me to put some good words for this product...I don't know how much Sony Entertainment would I consume but I felt good to have it there...
