The Best Blu Ray at the moment I received this blu ray a few days ago. I love it, the quality of the blu ray image is perfect for movies and concerts, I bought the Shakira concert in blu ray and is like been there in live, the quality is awesome , I recommend this blu ray to anybody. I know that some people say that the connection for the Wi Fi is very difficult, not true , is super easy if you go this document from the Sony web site (http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/tutorial-display.pl?tut_id=556 ) and just find your router and like a piece of cake or apple pie in a couple of mints you will be connected without any problems. I recommend this blu Ray 100% for multiple reasons. And I was forgetting about the sound if you have a Sony Tv like the one that I have XBR7, wow the difference in sound is a big one, the sound is extremely clear and pure. Get it you will never regret. J Dussan August 14, 2009
BDP-S560 I was told by the sony sales rep at this website that this player CAN play netflix and pandora streaming. It cannot and is one of their most expensive players. I called and was told my set up is wrong or my password but in fact it just can not do it. I just paid a service tech to come out and look at it only to find out now that it is not capable. Poor sales, poor service and why bother with this player? I am very disappointed. July 19, 2011
Blu-ray no more :( I really liked the player and I've had it for 15 months now, but 2 weeks ago the player just all of a sudden won't recognize or play any blu-ray DVD. It only plays DVDs now, which is nice that it's not completely broken, but I didn't buy it to play DVDs. I'll still use it for the DVDs we've got and I still like the look and the way it is synchronized with the Sony TV we have, but we'll have to look into buying another Blu-ray player now and I don't know if I'd get another Sony at this point.

BD review I wouldn't recommend this heap of garbage to anyone. Already sent it twice to the repair shop 1,400 miles away. Customer service has been horrendous as well. Sony does not make quality products anymore December 21, 2010
