Sony BDP-S480

 

The BDP-S480 isn't a high-priced Blu-ray player, but it's a decent quality one.

iOS and Android apps to control. Range of IPTV options. 3D Blu-ray compatible. Media-streaming options. Qriocity support.

Sluggish response on Xross Media Bar. Web browser is woeful. Not region free.

The BDP-S480 isn't a high-priced Blu-ray player, but it's a decent-quality one.

Won't stream off MAC Sports Website

 

Overall, this device is not bad. It fits well into my locations (physical) and does power up and work on DVDs and Blu-rays. However, I bought this device exclusively to capture streaming M.A.C. Sports and put them on my big screen. Unfortunately, it...

Sony did it again!

 

My Samsung blue ray player just stopped playing blue ray. The cost of fixing it would be the cost of buying a new one. I found this Sony blue-ray player for even less than the new Samsung and at much better quality. I am very happy with it. I would...
