Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Given that this is a Sony, it's fast with great video and audio quality for BluRays and DVDs, so I'll leave that to other reviews. Here I'll cover the extra features important in my house. One simple device for everyone in the house to learn and not have to flip between devices and learn different controls is a helpful beginning. The interface is simple and easily customized with the streaming services and NAS connection I want to see. It's a little annoying that the left hand 1/3 of the screen has Sony's "Featured Apps" and they can't be removed, but I'll live with that. Playing a variety of file types from my NAS (or PC at your house) is important to me. My SiliconDust HDHomeRun DVR is recording over the air TV shows (original format MPEG-TS to .mpg for full original quality), the kids videos are pass through of a variety of original formats to .mkv, and the music is FLAC. All these formats are common, but rarely all supported on the same device. Success on all counts for this player! As a frustrated former BDPS6200 owner, the next thing I tested was a 2 hour long Amazon Instant Video to make sure this unit didn't go haywire, lock up and start flooding my home network with traffic. Success! No freezing up on the video services. I am very happy with this new player.
