I am very frustrated after having my second PlayStation 3 stolen. The gaming isn't the thing we missed the most it was Netflix. Don't get me wrong the gaming was missed too. I bought this blu-ray player to be able to have the Netflix service available to us again. I also wanted to check out Hulu Plus. I bought three months worth of Hulu Plus on gift certificate/pre-paid cards. I still cannot get anything but youtube . The player makes you register with a code for each app you want[(it doesn't just come right on). Thats cool except for the error code I get each and everytime I've tried to get this hunk of you know what working. The Hulu Plus pre-paid cards I'm also finding out are really useless unless they get your credit card number too. So whats the reason for even selling pre-paid Hulu Plus if you still have to fork over your credit card number. To me this has been nothing I would recommend to anyone. Sony customer service is a joke too. You might as well put your story on tape and play it back for the 10 people you have to explain it to before being cut off . That would be less tedious than saying it over and over again.

not bad, but....

By CrazyDwarf

from Oklahoma City, OK

Comments about Sony Black Blu-Ray Disc Smart Player:

Not a bad little player, and it is small and light. The only complaint I have with it is the captioning on Netflix doesn't work.

GREAT MACHINE!!!

By undrtakr22

from Massillon, Ohio

Comments about Sony Black Blu-Ray Disc Smart Player:

Ok, I love it, even though, it doesn't have the Wi-Fi and the 3-D settings, but, other then that, I have not a single issue with it, it loads up fast, and it plays the DVDs, that have scratches and etc, that your normal DVD players wont play, and I don't believe, that the Sony company would sell a piece of junk, which I have had Sony products for years now, and not a problem with them, plus, the settings, are very similar to the PS3 settings, only really big thing it does not have, that the PS3 does, is the ability to play a game, and the Wi-Fi settings, thats it, so, in my opinion, its like having a PS3, without the gaming ability......

      Full Sony Quality at Bargin Price

      By Wallace

      from Morehead City, NC

      Comments about Sony Black Blu-Ray Disc Smart Player:

      This is an ideal Bluray player for those able to connect the Bluray palyer to the internet using 1) an ethernet cable from the player to a router, or 2) an ethernet cable from the player to a wireless ethernet brigde, which picks up and connects your player to your wireless home network (my arrangement) . Since I already had the bridge, I didn't have to pay considerably more for a Bluray player with built-in Wi-Fi. This player works so well and has the same internet platform as much more expensive Bluray players--i.e., Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, and many more. This player upscales all movies to its native 1080p resolution when used with an HDMI calbe. It also has a coaxial digital audio output you can run to your A/V receiver and surround sound system the same way you would with a more expensive Bluray player. Also this player loads Bluray DVDs fast and has the standard Sony features overall you'd expect. .

      Very Bad Instructions

      By nfish

      from Yardley, PA

      Comments about Sony Black Blu-Ray Disc Smart Player:

      As a novice, I feel the instuctions to set up Blu-ray Disc Player / BDP-S185 is sorely lacking regarding "Connecting to the Network" pg. 11. Yes, LAN cable is mentioned. However, no mention of what is required for a wireless connection. After much frustration, I learned I needed NETGEAR 4-port Powerline 85 Adapter Kit Plug & Play to enable me a wireless 'hook-up" at a cost of $80. Sony takes a lot for granted regarding consumer knowledge. Please explain more in your instruction booklet.

      Comments about Sony Black Blu-Ray Disc Smart Player:

      this is a great little player, perfect for what I wanted. I wanted a small, inexpensive blu ray player for my craft room. I love it! It not only plays my blu rays, but also, pandora and netflix! Which were my 3 main interests. It's also user friendly.

      Never own any electronic until I can get it through Sony.Bought first bluray and its like a kid in a candy store.Living in a home with my children I seldom buy things for myself,this time I did.Knowing nothing about online,and being completely computer unfriendly,hook up took less than 5 minutes.My parental quiet time is relaxing and exploring my new bluray.Looking forward to future products.Thank You Sony.

      Pain

      By NaNasMom

      from Col.,Ohio

      Comments about Sony Black Blu-Ray Disc Smart Player:

      This was the cheapest blu ray I could find. I wasn't going to buy a blu ray player but when I saw this one had the apps I jumped on it. I have tried everything to get the internet to work and nothing.I used the advice from priors reviews and the techs at the electronics store. After 2 trips to the store and another $50.00 on bridge adapter so I could have wireless, it didnt even work. Its a shame that I cant get it to work....like many others. Great concept, poorly executed :( Waste of money and time for me. I now have to take even more time returning the items I purchased and finding something that works

      Setup was a little tricky

      By ScoobyDog

      from Santa Clara, CA

      Comments about Sony Black Blu-Ray Disc Smart Player:

      The player is a great value for the money. I don't think it can be beat. I had a problem setting up access to Hulu Plus and Netflix. I used the auto setup and the network connection was confirmed as good, but, I kept getting "Network Error" messages and could not connect to any of the internet services. I manually changed the DNS to Google DNS (Primary: 8.8.8.8; secondary: 8.8.4.4) and now it is working great!
