Here's what real users are saying about the Sony BDP-BX1 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player
BDP-BX1 is basically the same as BDP-S350...
If
you're looking for reviews on the Sony BDP-BX1, check out the reviews
for the Sony BDP-S350 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player. The BX1 is basically
the S350 repackaged with a unique part number for Costco (so other
retailers don't have to match their low prices). You'll find more than
100 reviews there that should apply to the BX1.
I've had the
BDP-BX1 for a couple of months now, and I really like it. The player's
crossbar menu system is very straightforward and easy to configure.
Blu-Ray discs take longer to load than standard DVDs, so be patient.
I
don't have a 1080p TV, so the quality for me is the same as watching a
1080i HD program on TV. You should read the reviews for the S350 to
find out how well it works for 1080p.
It does a great job of
upscaling standard DVDs - I have Batman Begins on both DVD and Blu-Ray,
and after watching/pausing the same scenes, I've noticed the quality in
1080i of the upscaled DVD is amazingly close to the Blu-Ray.
It
supports BD-Live, as long as you get the latest firmware. Go to Network
Update in its menu. If you look at the System Information, the last 3
digits of the version should be 010 - that indicates BD-Live is
enabled. You can confirm this by going to Sony's support site for
BDP-BX1. But note - you need to insert a USB flash drive in the back
and reboot the player before the BD-Live content begins working. Click Here To Read More User Reviews or to BUY NOW
