Very unexpected from Sharp. I got mine on a sale new for less than seventy bucks but its STILL not worth the aggravation and I took it back, I was happy even to pay the restocking fee. There is no comparison to my PS3 or the Sony DBP-S370 which I would totally recommend over this by a long way - please see my review on that item. Good points, the box it came in was the high point (!), looks nice under my TV, smallish device, streams Netflix 'ok' (although on the current firmware unable to search). Bad points, cheap construction over all once you hold it, a LCD display that so 1980's, a stupid flashing blue circle on the front (again very 1980's), takes many minutes (1-2 min) to load a bluray disc, I couldn't get Harry Potter and the Half Blood price to even load (even with recommended 2gb pendrive plugged in the back). Menus are awful. Really feels like a third rate device. I would have expected better from Sharp, their LCD TVs that carry the same Aquos name are in a different league. I personally would stay away from this particular item. It won't make a good gift (unless you don't like the person, then it will give many hours of frustration). 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Firmware is important By Michael from San Diego I just bought this player on sale for 99 bucks. I was a bit nervous because of all the horrendous reviews. However, all worked fine for me. It seems when the unit was new it was pretty buggy. [...] Our unit has an (A) appended to the model ID, this appears to be because many of the firmware updates were included with this model; notice on sharp webpage I linked to the update is only for the original model, and we had no problems whatsoever with NetFlix. If you can get this for as cheap as we did, I would say it is a great deal! I have a Sharp HDTV and the TV remote worked on the DVD player with no configuration which was nice. 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. worse value than sea monkeys By J. Milbrandt yep....this product can only be compared to sea monkeys in the "promise and deliver" department. Consistant errors in reading Bluray discs and Netflix streaming. Worst of all if you use this for Netflix odds are you'll need to go buy a 2GB thumb drive to update the latest firmwear applications (required by to play Netflix instant) or you'll be without Netflix. I've had this for 2 months and it's ruined more movie nights than it's created. This is a massive pile of fail! See all 20 customer reviews...
