Sony BDP-S500
Sony BDP-S500 - (DVD & PVR)
Score: 7.0
The Sony BDP-S500 Blu-ray player is an excellent performer. Both standard definition and high definition material alike looks beautiful, providing scenes with sharpness and strong colour. Audio quality is also crisp, but does this player measure up to the PlayStation 3?We Like: Picture quality; sound quality; styling
We Don't Like: Price; front panel feels fragile; no included HDMI cable; no profile 1.1 or 2.0 support; did we mention price yet?
Accessories: HDMI cable; Blu-ray discs; HD TV
Judgement: There is no compelling reason to buy this player over a PlayStation 3: it's too expensive, doesn't support profile 1.1 or 2.0, and costs more than pretty much every Blu-ray player on the market. The picture and sound quality are, however, excellent, which makes it a good player with a silly price tag
