I bought the Blu-Ray player to go with my new Sony 50" 1080p Rear-projection TV. I have watched about 4 blu-ray movies so far (Superman Returns, Open Season, Mission Impossible & Fugitive) and have been blown away by the picture clarity. I have watched the Fugitive about 5 times already but I was able to see little things that I never noticed before in a regular DVD. I also threw in couple of DVDs that I own (Die Hard 3, Independence Day) and once again was impressed with the excellent job this player did to upconvert it to 1080p. Highly recommended.

Sony's plastic remote is reasonably good. It's well designed and compliments the Sony HDMI HDTV - the remote controls the TV's basic functions too. No more fumbling around for 2 different remotes. Overall I am very pleased with the Sony BDP-S300. I just wish there were more high quality Blu-Ray discs available at lower prices.

This is an excellent BD Player for under $500! The picture quality is awesome! The only downside is the load time. The Samsung bd-p1200 is faster in the load time but $300 more. Overall a Great product!

At this point if you're looking for a stand-alone Blu-ray player I can't wholeheartedly recommend the BDP-S300 quite as easily as before these issues came to light. It's still a good player, but certainly not quite as good as our first impressions indicated. For what it's worth; I feel I've paid my penance for my original oversights, 'Ghost Rider' was truly abysmal.

Judged purely as a DVD/CD/Blu-ray player, the Sony is a sure winner. It is also a good upconverting DVD player and a respectable, if slow-to-load, CD player. While the occasional freeze-ups were only a minor nuisance, I'm still a bit concerned about them. Despite this, however, the BDP-S300 has a lot to recommend it. If you want a relatively affordable standalone Blu-ray player, it's currently the only game in town. And fortunately, it's an outstanding one.

The BDP-S300 is a decent choice if you're limiting yourself to a relatively cheap, standard-design Blu-ray player, but everyone else should consider the competition.
