Sony BDP-S500 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player Review

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.
