 No PIP but who cares ? November 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've owned this player for almost a year and there's nothing wrong with it. However Blu-Ray has now moved on to include Picture-In-Picture DVD commentaries. This player does not have the necessary hardware to show Picture-In-Picture. So if you want PIP then you want the more recent Sony BDP-S350 which is currently the same price. Though I believe you need to buy a memory upgrade for the BDP-S350 for PIP to work.
Also be aware that the 4 Free DVD Offer that is currently showing expired in August 2008.
Where this player scores one up on the BDP-S350 is that it has 6 separate multi-channel analogue outs, for those of us with analogue inputs on our amplifiers. There is also an additional 2 analogue outs Left / Right for TV connection if your TV has a DVI connection and not a HDMI connection.
The player itself is built to last and it's so big that my amp happily sits on top of it.
Is HD All That Good ? October 24, 2008

This player did really well upscaling my DVD's but the leap from that to HD films on Blu Ray wasn't so big.
We watched the standard Matrix and then a Blu Ray I robot and couldn't really see any difference.
Maybe this is a comment on Blu Ray or I Robot rather than the Sony player, I haven't watched enough HD stuff to confirm my findings.

superb picture and sound .very good value for money.
Very dissapointed with Sony one of the key attractions was the 4 free dvds promised in 28 days (Ha Ha) .
28 days long gone and still not here ,rang Sony and they will try to rush it along they SHOULD be here in 3 weeks .
Watch this space.
Sony shame on you
 Pick up a bargain. September 13, 2008

Now that the new S350 is out, you can pick one of these up for a bargain price. Remember this was originally a 400 machine aimed at early adopters and videophiles, and the build quality is therefore superb.
Picture quality is fantastic and I doubt whether most people would be able to tell the 1080p output apart from any other machine, as it is basically perfect.
Sony continue to support this product with firmware updates, now on version 4.20 and the speed of operation is now more than acceptable. Latest firmware supports Dolby TruHD too.
Okay, so it's only profile 1 and won't support some advanced features, but if you want a well made player just to watch movies, I can highly recommend this Sony.
HD? August 11, 2008

I've had this BDP S300 for a few weeks now & over all it's an ok machine. Yes it is slow to power on & load Blu Ray discs but I think this is a problem not unique to Sony machines. The picture is indeed sharper with richer colour but I'm not sure that it's the 5 times quality of DVD often used to describe Blu Ray or HD. I think where you notice the picture quality differance most is with lots of detail in big wide shots, no DVD compression started to kick in and cause break up or softness of the picture. The other plus is the HDMI out if you have an LCD which does away with any analogue colour bleeding. But I still not sure if it was worth paying out nearly 200 for these few niceties. My advise is if you've got a high end DVD connected via SCART stay with it until it starts playing up, then you might as well upgrade.
