 Blu-Ray and Netflix Get Thumbs-up - Other Streaming Not Ready For Primetime September 7, 2010
Rae Aaron (New Mexico, USA)
I purchased the BDP N460 in early February 2010 and have had it seven months now.
Blu-Ray:
Movies seem almost as if you are looking through a window. The picture is amazing.
Netflix:
Functionality is great, in fact I utilize the Netflix streaming function more than anything else. I have only experienced a buffering stall one time and it was only a second or two. I have a 3 Mb cable internet package and have a wired connection from my router to the BDP.
YouTube:
Works fine, but the interface could use some polish - my husband likes to watch music videos on YouTube, but I find the interface clunky and annoying. Perhaps this can be improved with a future software update.
Amazon on Demand:
I have yet to try it. Signed up today and will update review after I get around to trying it.
Other streaming content:
I have looked at Epicurious and some of the other online streaming content. I think most of it is just "OK" because searching and navigation with a remote is cumbersome at best. I am sure there is plenty of interesting content, but finding it is too much of a chore. I suspect this is probably because streaming to television is still in its infancy. Hopefully, as streaming to TV becomes more mainstream, players and sites hosting content will update their interfaces to make it easier and more intuitive for users to to find relevant video content without the benefit of a keyboard and mouse.
 Extremely poor Netflix performance September 5, 2010

I've given up on streaming Netflix with this unit. The Netflix performance is an exasperating letdown. I bought the unit because it worked with Netflix - DVD player for the latest movies, and Netflix for the TV shows. You can't however, get through a single episode on it without at least one stoppage for buffering. Many times, it will stop and buffer every 10 to 15 seconds. The performance is laughable, that is if I didn't pay good money to expect that. The Sony player is connected by hardwire into a FIOS router. Thinking it was the network, I checked our Verizon FIOS speed and found it was exceptional. I played the same shows on my wireless laptop and wireless home PC with no buffering problems whatsoever. Tonight, we got so disappointed trying to watch the season finale of Dexter that I asked my son to hook up his X-Box to the TV so we could stream through that. Again, the show played fine, with no stoppages whatsoever. We are running the current firmware, and to be honest, the latest firmware seems to perform worse that the earlier ones.
Stay away from this unit if you expect to stream Netflix at all. There are other options out there that you will find much less frustrating.
amazing product for the price August 29, 2010
M. Shaw (Salisbury, MD)
I just recently got a hi-def TV and felt the need to get a blu-ray player that was netflix capable. I'll be honest, the primary reason I bought this thing is to stream netflix. I mean yes I could of bought a Roku, but I definitely wanted to be able to play blu-ray as well.
The setup for this thing is easy as pie. Usually Sony has tons of menus and it is complicated with other products. But this thing is incredibly simple. I had a Cat5 ethernet cable ran to the back of the thing, and with my 20mbit/sec cable internet connection, this thing upgraded to the newest firmware as soon as I plugged it in.
After that, I activated my sony product and followed the instructions for activating my netflix account. Piece of cake. In minutes I was watching items that were in my queue. The quality is superb. It takes a about 30 seconds or so to load up a movie, but once it is there, it is perfect. No staggering or skipping. Others that have complained about the netflix streaming probably have slow internet connections. Or maybe they're using WiFi and it is having problems. Regardless, I think this thing is freakin' awesome and I'm stoked about it's quality and price.
I've never even had anything hooked up via HDMI, so having video/audio go through the same cable is totally awesome. Couldn't believe how easy it was. I'd recommend this unit to anyone. THANKS!!
Sony BDP-n460 Blue ray August 29, 2010
Pat Dawson
I have owned this player a while but I have to say that I still really love it. The technology is excellent, both in sound and visual experience.The Sony is by FAR Superior then the previous player. Fast at everything boot-up is less then 10 seconds without the quick boot-up option, reads Blu ray shortly after inserted and load times are minimal. I had read several reviews about Netflix not being good quality and it being laggy and such which was turning me away from this player. The quality of rentals is great, it doesn't take very long to load at all I have 6MBps from Comcast running through a router and a switch and still have no problem streaming or any quality loss. If you have the ability to rent bluereay then this player is truly wonderful. From Box to setup it took under 60 mins, It tells you when there is new software and DL it directly to the player and installs it in under 4 mins. For Netflix all you need to do is register product with Sony and then enter the Key it gives you into the Netflix site and your done. If your looking for a new Blu Ray or even a First time buyer, DO NOT pass this one up. This player is amazing, I first had a samsung from walmart that was on sale for cheap money which was slow to boot and slow to read.
Perfect for our needs August 29, 2010

For the past 20 years I've been trying to avoid Sony products because of how they've tried to get you to buy all the Sony accessories that only work with their product (Hello Apple). But the reviews were too good on this one to ignore and it's been perfect for what we've wanted to do. We have an older 27" tv so it wasn't the Blu-Ray feature that was the priority. We also have 1.5MBps download capability. Streaming has been great. We love how easy it is to access the menues, even the kids have figured it out. And then there is the stuff that's been added since we bought it last January. At first NPR and Slacker were the only audio choices but recently they've added Pandora. And this week we see a notification that Hulu Plus will be available soon. Not sure that we'll add that but as avid Hulu users, it's nice to have that option. Well done, Sony. Well done.
