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.

If you want an excellent Blue-Ray DVD player that also excels playing standard DVDs (as well as DVD-Audio) and money is not an issue, the Panasonic DMP-BD10 is an excellent choice. In addition to solid performance it also has a good remote control and looks as expensive as it is.

The Panasonic DMP-BD10 is delivered exceptional image quality but had some functionality issues and carries an high price tag.

This is indeed a very fine Blu-ray player. The machine has the stability/reliability of a regular DVD player, and it also loads pretty quick compared to other hi def players. Excellent picture quality too.

From a performance perspective, there’s no denying that the DMP-BD10 is a sensational product and in terms of features it’s miles better than the Samsung BD-P1000. But there’s also no denying the fact that it’s wildly overpriced, costing nearly three times as much as the Toshiba HD-E1 HD DVD deck and twice as much as the step-up HD-XE1.
