Summary: After reading reviews on many Blu-Ray players this one seemed to be on of the best. And I am so glad I got this one for Christmas. Blu-Ray's look simply outstanding. Clear and crisp picture. Amazing sound. Even standard DVD's look 100% clearer when you are connected with HDMI. A lot of the other Blu-Ray players I looked at the reviewers said the discs load very slow. Sure Blu-Ray's load a little slower then DVD's do. But I still find the loading times pretty fast. There is a lot more content to explore when you have this hooked up to the Internet. I do wish it had WI-FI but that would up the price quite a bit. When you turn on the player it does tend to load a little slow. Shutting down can be slow as well. If you eject the Blu-Ray or DVD then shutting down can take up to 40 seconds, where the rest of the time it's about 10 seconds or less.
So if you are a looking for a great Blu-Ray player this one is for you.

A whole lot of machine for a small price.
by pfc2k1 on April 27, 2012
Pros: Packed with features such as video streaming services like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plu, VUDU and YouTube. Audio streaming services like Pandora and Slacker. Plackback of most popular formats like MKV and AVI files via USB.
Cons: This model does not feature Wi-Fi and needs to be hardwired via the Ethernet port. Also, this player does not have any internal flash storage for BD-Live. You will need a USB flash drive to enable the use of BD-Live features.
Summary: I bought this player about 1 month ago as a replacement for an aging Sony BDP-S350 in my bedroom. The difference between the 2 players is like night and day. ...

Summary: I bought this player about 1 month ago as a replacement for an aging Sony BDP-S350 in my bedroom. The difference between the 2 players is like night and day. Where the 350 was slow (start-up and disc loading), the 185 is much faster. Disc loading on the 185 rivals that of my PS3 (Blu-ray discs load in 15 to 30 seconds vs. 1 to 3 minutes with the old BDP-S350).
The main reason I bought the BDP-S185 was for it's "apps". I wanted something affordable that would allow me to stream Netflix and Amazon Instant Video in my bedroom. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this player also supports playback of MKV files via USB.
The player itself carries the same basic audio/video features as most other brand-name, entry-level Blu-ray players. Supports 480i/p,720p and 1080i/p video resolution output. The player can internally decode the HD audio codecs (Dolby Digital+, Dolby True HD, DTS-HD HR and DTS-HD MA).
This model does not feature Wi-Fi and needs to be hardwired via the Ethernet port. This was not a deal-breaker for me, as the Blu-ray player it was replacing was hardwired, so the line was already run. Also, there no internal storage for BD-Live. If this is important to you, you will need to insert a USB flash drive into the player's USB port for downloading/saving BD-Live content. Again, not a deal-breaker as most BD-Live features tend to be advertisements, trailers and gimmicks anyways.
Overall, I am very happy with this player. If you are looking for something packed with features that won't break the bank, and can overlook the lack of Wi-Fi - I would highly recommend the Sony BDP-S185.
