Picked up this player this afternoon. Setup was a breeze. Only needing to plug in my HDMI cable and the power and away I went. I love that the controller is able to control my Samsung LED TV right out of the box. No need to grab the other control the switch between TV and DVD. Netflix setup with no issues and I was able to immediately continue streaming some TV episodes that I started earlier on another TV. AllShare was able to find my media server and other DLNA devices with no issues. You can't find a better player for the price.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, design
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the small form factor, preloaded apps, and built in Wi-Fi. Previous devices claiming built-in Wi-Fi were able to connect to network, only to drop connection within seconds. This player also incorporates an "Auto Play" feature for Netflix. It counts down to play the next episode and then starts the program for you, after a few plays, the system will ask if you are still watching, so your couch and chair will not be the ones keeping up to date without you.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight

Best Blu-ray player for the price

Very easy to setup and use. It delivers great picture and sound quality plus it has built in wi-fi so you can stream Netflix and watch Youtube videos.
This is a great BR player and I have only one complaint.
The additional services that are bundled in (Vudu, etc) are expensive; I think the end-user would benefit more from having options to include or exclude apps or accounts.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: bloatware

Blu Ray Player with built in wifi

Easy to set up, easy to use & a great value. I love that I can stream movies through Netflix, watch my own movies & even play music through Pandora, all at the click of a button.
We love this player. but it has a few limitations that could easily be fixed through firmware updates:
Positives: Compact, no distracting front LEDs, soft touch buttons, small remote with cool Netflix button. Built in Wi-Fi is N so works fast most of the time. Best value for the money we've ever found. Works with Samsung Allshare (Windows 32 bit) to access local content on other devices (like your PC)
Problems: Needs a few things added to the firmware updates like Hulu+, Amazon, etc. Wish it had a bigger buffer for Netflix to reduce rebuffering. Serious drawback is that since ALL new computers come with Windows 64, Allshare is useless for most PCs out there now.
Would recommend this player if they fixed the things above.
Pros: Inexpensive, netflix
Cons: needs hulu+, needs amazon, needs allshare for windows 64-bit
