Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I set the internet functionality up before trying to play a Blu Ray, and it worked nicely.
Then I tried to play Blu Ray edition of Kick Ass, and the player went into a coma. After 5 minutes I powered it down
and then upon startup ejected the disc that has always played flawlessly on my PS3.
Thinking this might be a bad disc I tried Avatar.. this required me to go and find a thumb drive as the
movie needs 2 mb of storage to play and the player has no on board memory.. so I did so and after messing
about for a while with no results gave up. The third disc I had just rented from Netflix and it did play after a comparatively
long load time compared to the 3 year old PS3 I ended up watching it on.
Pros : It started up quickly, internet was easy to set up, Netflix looked OK, but it's still better via PC.
Cons : unit was very hot after only an hour, no cooling fan. 2 of 3 randomly chosen discs would not play, slow to play time
on the one that did. How about putting a few Meg of memory on the board.. it'd cost next to nothing and no one would need to hunt down a thumb drive to see Avatar..
I got this player from Costco on the way home this evening and it's going back tomorrow. At 159$ you do seem to get what you pay for.
The old PS3 has outshined this machine.
Did not get as far as testing the 3D, as the TV arrives tomorrow and I'll do a little more research into a better player.
