Sony Blu Ray DVD Player

Sony Blu Ray DVD Player

We like: It greets you with a 'welcome' flashing infront of the sleek start-up panel. That's the starting point of a pretty feel-good experience to follow. Easy to use, great picture and sound, internet video streaming along with a selection of entertainment apps like YouTube, Blip.tv, Concierge.com, STYLE.com. Golf link, LIVESTRONG.com - this one's loaded. It is also wireless LAN ready.

We didn't like: There is nothing much that you will not like because it is such a simple gadget in itself. But the costly Blu Ray discs, as of now atleast, is a put off. A VCD and MP3/4 option could have made it perfect for the present and emerging local market.

Go for it? At Rs 9,999. it does seem to be a touch expensive, specially with so many DVD players in the market at a lesser price. But, thinking with a futuristic mind, this may seem to be good option as Blu Ray discs are the future.
