"Best of any DVD player ever owned!"
Pros: EVERYTHING! I exchanged a BDP300.(slowest load time ever)for the BDPBX1 (I got mine at Costco.you can't beat their exchange policy). It is compact, good looking and loads like a fully automatic Beretta!
Cons: I have had this about 45 days and so far its flawless operation leaves me complaintless. Issues may show up but none yet..thats a great feeling so far!
Summary: There appears to be nothing about this player (yet) that i dislike and were there any thing I did seriously dislike I would drive 30 miles, one way, to Costco and get rid of it...in fact I did just that with my previous Sony Blu Ray Player purchase which, by the way was $50 MORE than the BDPBX1...now thats saying someting!
When I HDMI'd this sweetheart into my precious VIZIO SV470XMTai/120hz/Smooth Motion LCD HDTV and put on National Treasure 2, I was absolutely balowned out of my massage recliner! I can not believe that an old fart like me (70), living on SSA, can enjoy what may be the very finest video experience available on planet earth and do so for what, for a combined cost of under $1700. Well let me tell you thats saying something. I live in a 32' vintage Holiday Rambler (1973) trailer in small but perfect comfort. When my lights go out at night and I crank up a Blu Ray disc freshly mailed to me by Block Buster (I get 3 BluRay discs per week like clockwork in the mail for $20 bucks per month so who says a poor man can't live like a King if he keeps his vices to a minimum and shops wisely for entertainment gear that may be the last he will ever purchase in this life!). My wee environment lights up like wrap around 3D Cinerama when I saw that for the first time back in the....oh yeah 1960s! I have my micro a few steps away so popcorn is always freash and I can sip on an ocassional Russo Negro withouth guilt. This is possible with the BDPBXI (same as S300 I have come to learn) and the spectacular Vizio for which the closest competing units were running upwards of 2500-3500k but a couple of months back. My "review" really is for BOTH the Vizio product (which in my wee environment produces more than adequate Surround Sound without a costly audio reciever. Oh, if I want wireless 5.1 it truns out VIZIO can sell me a 5.1 wireless speaker set using the 3 onboard speakers and two outside wireless...already to rock if I wish to spend a mere $300 more and I will, as soon as I save up enough to add the 5.1 kit to the 5.1 Vizio set I own. Damn I love writing such an upbeat "review" on two different mfgers products. IIts so EZ to find things to complain about these days! But not with these two very fine high quality products in myi life.
Thats now near 2500 characters in my "review". I could write more but its Blu Ray movie time in my digs...Just got Space Odessy 2001...can't wait to see OLD HAL rap with Kier D in 1080p Blu Ray...lights down, movie starting in 3...2...tadaa!
