This is a great blu ray player. Firstly it loads much faster than the previous blu ray players that I have used. Secondly, it has many more features than more expensive models currently on the market. The menu is very simple and easy to use. Connecting to the Internet is also very easy. I was connected via WIFI within just a few moments and was able to download the latest firmware with no problem. There are many Internet uses including Youtube, VUDU, Netflix etc. With WIFI the connection speed is fast enough to watch standard definition movies from the internet and after connecting directly to our wired modem I had a connection fast enough to watch HD movies. The sensor on top of the machine for opening the disc drive is a nice touch. There is also a feature to where you can use SKYPE for video calls/communication but that requires adding a webcam which I believe needs to be of a specific type for this machine. It is also a 3D blu ray player but I have not tried that as I don't have a 3D television. It displays blu ray discs with a beautiful high def. picture and it makes regular dvd's look great as well. Overall this a great machine with many capabilities. Hopefully the firmware will be updated at some point that will include an actual web browser that will allow more independent use of the internet, similar to other products like the Wii.
For all those people wondering if this unit supports Hulu Plus, I can confirm it does indeed. Contains all the major services: youtube, netflix, hulu plus, amazon vod, cinema now and vudu. Also has apps for picasa photos, twitter and weather.
I purchased this Blu-Ray player after checking others out, and doing product reviews on Cnet.com. I am extremely happy with this purchase and may very well get another one. One of the features that I love is that I don't have much room between my tv and to place a blu-ray player. This small footprint player sits right under my tv and with a wave of my hand, it opens up, I can load it, and wave my hand and it closes. Such a great feature, especially in the dark. It loads the movies so fast, I find it incredible! The web features such as streaming and the web content such as Pandora, HuluPlus, Vudu, Picasa, You Tube, Netflix, and many more are incredible. The interface is simple and matter of factly! It is a breeze to use, and it even has a direct Netflix button! It has one HDMI connection, and a direct modem connection. It updates itself and provides you with the latest content available. I love this machine and would recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants the best, for a reasonable price. I know you will not be disappointed!
