Was purchased to replace DVD player. Easy set up, clear viewing with regular DVDs. Do not own Blue-ray Discs, so I cannot comment on that. My only issue is that I cannot not get it to sync with my internet (Wi-Fi), which is why I cannot give it a higher rating. Sorry.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello 2Classy!
Thank you for your feedback, unfortunately the only models similar to this with the capabilities to connect to a Wi-Fi are BDP-S3200, BDP-BX320, BDP-S5200 and BDP-BX520 only.
Got it because of the Sony name and the price tag. It's not Wi-fi, I didn't need it to be. Easy to use, no probs so far, use it for movie rentals and netflix mostly.
I've only used the BDPS1200 a short time, but it works flawlessly. Setup is easy, it boots up quickly and has several apps that I'll f'ind useful. Its most amazing feature, though, is its size. It has a smaller footprint than my iPad, so it fits anywhere. Its apps require wired Internet, so it needs to be located near an Ethernet port or a router. In my case, this is a perfect choice, since my home office is wired. It has turned my remarkably unremarkable flat panel TV into something special.
No complaints about this bluray player. The streaming works well with lots of choices and if even played AVI files off a USB that my computer wouldn't even play. It is virtually silent as can be in the quick start mode it starts up immediately to that usual Sony menu style.
