Customer Reviews
Almost perfect…
What was Sony thinking when they priced this player at $700?? Now that you can get it for $200 it’s a true contender. Build quality & appearance are excellent in this player, as are the picture & sound quality. It would have been perfect for me except for some minor complaints:
* No Netflix, Pandora, Youtube, etc. This machine does have built-in wi-fi but doesn’t have a browser to access these internet-based services. Too bad, too–it was the main reason I bought a ‘network’ Blu-ray player.
* Very slow to initialize & load.
* Several brief blank spots during movie play. Similar to the brief hiccup you often see when a player switches layers on a long movie but it happens much more often. Irritating. May have been an issue only on my machine.
I boxed mine up & sent it back after a week.
So far I’m very happy with the LG BD570 I replaced it with.
Great Blu ray player!
I can’t say enough good things about this player. Great picture with enhancements which actually work and you can actually see without the hype. Outperforms all blu rays I have owned in the past including my Pioneer Elite 23FD. This unit is relatively quick to load and quite responsive. For a couple of Benjamins, you can’t go wrong.
Sony BDPS1000ES Blu-Ray Player
This player replaces my 1st generation BDPS300, I have to say that this new player is so much better in the video quality. The color is very nice. I don’t have to wait 45 seconds for the player to start, it only takes 6 seconds. The wi-fi on the new player is great. Having a Mac I was unable to download firmware but now it just updates automatically.
It doesn’t have all the new stuff like 3D, but I’m not ready for that till a few more years down the road. Overall this player is the best I’ve seen. Thanks Sony for a wonderful player.
Awesome image!!!
The Sony 1000ES is an excellent Blu Ray player. It has the same Crossbar GUI the PS3 ha and also nearly the same load times. I have about 300 Blu Ray titles and it plays all of them! The Super Bit Mapping really does work. I am seeing an image that rivals my 2K player! Standard DVDs look very good and that’s because the 1000 ES uses the same Marvell chip as the Pioneer 09FD. Sure 700 msrp seems a bit steep but if you want to squeeze out every last drop of picture Q then the 1000 ES is a steal! Oh and I almost forgot to mention the excellent remote that comes with it. That and you get a USB stick to! If you can find this player for somewhat less then MSRP don’t walk, run!!!
Both video and sound are outstanding
Excellent video. The sound quality is a significant improvement over the other lower-priced Sony players. I did not expect to use this player to listen to CD music but I find myself using it very often.
Pleasantly surprised
Nice player, big upgrade from my PS3. It starts up fast in “quick boot” mode. This is the best player you can get if you want top notch PQ and you want to bitstream.
