This player works great. I’ve watched Hollywood produced blue-ray movies on this player and a blue-ray movie I burned myself using an LG GGW-H20L blue-ray burner on my computer using Pinnacle Studio 12 movie making software. The only negative I can see is that after spending over $250 for the player, it seems kind of cheap for Sony to still require that you buy one of their camera memory cards in order to fully use the Internet download features of the player.
