Sony BDP-S5000ES Blu-ray player

By Richard Stevenson (homecinemachoice.com)

When I was young and crazy I had a dream about making noodles – and one about Hi-Def movies so crisp, so bold and so natural you could step into the screen and be there. Immersing myself in the rich, oriental landscape of ancient China while watching ...

It looks great and produces high audio and video fidelities

Too expensive

Finally!

By WISED (sonystyle.com)

"Finally a blueray player that feels like a finished product. Stellar video performance was a given before and still is a hallmark. Finally Sony has gotten around to include all the high definition audio codecs. The previous BDPs2000es was deceptive in th...
