Sony BDP-S301 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player BD/DVD/CD Playback

This player worked great for about 2 years and then didn't want to load disc it had played fine in the past. Then it stopped playing all discs. I upgraded the firmware successfully and it didn't help. Now it won't play anything.

Plays games on its own with you having no control over the situation. Loading a disk is an adventure on it's own. Most don't play out of the box. The controls are so slow that if you press open tray 10 times in a row it will freeze. Sometimes it shuts...

hello i am writing this review because of all the negative reviews this profile 1.0 player has gotten which i think is a bad rap! First let me say i own 3 of these units and a bdp s500 which is also a great player from sony.I have owned my original...

I purchased this in February 2008. Once you are playing a Blu-Ray Disc, of course the picture is fantastic on your hi-def Monitor, but this has been a very temperamental piece of gear. Very, very slow load times. Sometimes if you leave a disc in and...
