"Just bought this player two days ago. Bought from a Sony Style location. I have watched 3 BD movies so far. It looks great and has an excellent easy to understand remote. Very few multiple use (e.g. scan/slow) buttons and very few abbreviations or obfuscations (e.g. opts or fwrd). Basic old style dot matrix display tells you what you need to know. Reminds me of my first Sony CD player. Just does it's job and does not try to entertain me with worthless bonus features. Not so fond of the on screen GUI for disk loading. This GUI is off center on purpose. It seems redundant since the unit auto selects the media type. The competitor was of course the PS3. Ruled out due to heat, size, noise, audio outputs, and looks. Also Sony will offer a storage module in the future (already?) to add Profile 2.0 AFAIK. " more
