Sony BDP-S580 review

 

If you're buying a Blu-ray player in 2011, you're probably as interested in streaming-media services as you are in Blu-ray. The BDP-S580 is a tantalizing option for a streaming-media fan, packing in more services (including Netflix, Amazon Instant, and...

The Sony BDP-S580 is a faster-than-average Blu-ray player and its exterior design is one of our favorites. The BDP-S580 has built-in Wi-Fi and the best current lineup of streaming-media services, including Netflix, Amazon Instant, Hulu Plus, Vudu,...

The BDP-S580's user interface can be tedious to navigate. And even once you load a streaming service like Netflix, Sony's custom interface displays small cover art that can be tough to read. The BDP-S580 also lacks the popular MLB.TV service, as well...

The Sony BDP-S580 has built-in Wi-Fi and more streaming services than all competing Blu-ray players, but its user interface is mediocre.

Sony BDP-S580 3D Blu-ray Disc Player

 

Slow disc loading times hold back this otherwise excellent, full-featured Blu-ray player.

Built-in Wi-Fi. 3D support. Lots of integrated online media services. Lacks on-board memory.

Slow to load BD-Live discs. Flimsy-feeling remote.

Sony BDP-S580 3D Blu-ray Player

 

Sony’s latest Blu-ray player on the market is the 3D enabled BDP-S580. Blu-ray has always been Sony’s baby and, since the PS3 was the de facto standard in Blu-ray playback for several years, people came to expect quality from standalone Sony...

Overall, the Sony BDP-S580 was definitely a disappointment. From the get-go, it’s slim construction and poorly designed buttons gave the unit a cheap feel. Then to find out that this newer model was actually slower than the S570 and did not include any...

Sony continues to release Blu-ray players that are packed with features, and the BDP-S580 Blu-ray player is no exception. HTR Reviewer Adrienne Maxwell takes a look at the BDP-S580 to see how it measures up against its contemporaries....

The BDP-S580 supports 3D playback ; It supports BD-Live and BonusView/PIP ; It has internal decoding and bitstream output of high-resolution audio sources ; The player has integrated WiFi and supports a wide variety of online media services, including...

This 3D model does not include dual HDMI outputs to send separate signals to your 3D TV and A/V receiver, and it doesn't support 2D-to-3D conversion ; It also lacks multichannel analog audio outputs, so it's not the best choice for someone who owns an...

The BDP-S580 is a full-featured Blu-ray player offered at a very competitive price. In addition to 3D playback, you get integrated WiFi, SACD playback, DLNA media streaming, and a thorough assortment of Web services. You also get a few perks that I've...

Among the four blu-ray players in Sony's 2011 lineup, the Sony BDP-S580 is the second from the top and comes with a full set of mouthwatering features. It comes fully equipped with the latest in home entertainment such as a full HD 3D feature and...

Sony BDP-S580 Blu-ray player

 

Sony BDP-S580 review: Built-in Wi-Fi makes this Blu-ray player convenient, but the price is steep

Good design ; As many features as any other BD player

High price over BDP-S480 just for Wi-Fi

The Sony BDP-S580 adds only Wi-Fi over the BDP-S480, and comes at a $50 price premium. While it adds convenience we don't think this small inclusion is worthy of its pricetag. Otherwise, it's a competent and powerful Blu-ray player that has the added...

Sony BDP-S580 Blu-ray Player

 

It hasn't taken long for 3D Blu-ray players to become affordable for the mainstream, but is going for a relatively cheap option going to work in the long run? We grabbed hold of the Sony BDP-S580 to find out….

With a huge array of features and excellent picture quality, there’s plenty to love about the Sony BDP-S580 Blu-ray player. The clunky interface is a pain, but if you think your time using it will be just a fraction of the time you spend watching...

Do not buy if you want to stream

 

Netflix and Amazon prime are unwatchable with this device. They pause for rebuffering every couple of minutes. The issue is clearly well documented on the sony boards, but the only apparent answer sony has is "it's your internet's fault." No, sorry,...

Built-in wifi

Netflix and amazon prime are impossible to use because of poor playback
