I bought the BDPS5500 5-7 years ago and have been extremely pleased and satisfied with it all this time. Just the fact that's all.

Old guy comments on Blu-Ray player.

Add playstation 5 to model selection cfi 1015a please

Playstation 5 I can't fine model in the selection

I Purchased one of these DVD players and after a year nothing else in the market was as good so I bought another one for my bedroom and it is rocksolid. Most other brands are built mostly of plastic and are pretty flimsy and don’t stand up to heavy duty DVD use. Are use this particular unit which is my second unit in the bedroom to play DVDs and I also use it to stream online content via Amazon Netflix and HBO go

This thing is built like a tank !!!

It's OK, the wifi pro is very smooth running with my home internet. I'm so happy with Netflix, youtube and other online entertainment.

Great comfortable

Reboots itself while using apps (e.g., Netflix) and DVD player often. Fails to read discs intermittently... both while playing and sometimes refusing to acknowledge that there is a disk in it at all. Now it won't power on at all.

Worst piece of electronics I've ever seen

Cannot play any DVD movies. Not mention in instruction manual. Please indicate on the box what are the CD formats that can be played on this equipment so that we can buy the right equipment

Cannot play DVD Movie

Pros: cheap price, plays hd audio and mkv video files through USB port

Cons: streaming content stutters and just freezes, very few of the apps are worth watching. Even when wired to my router d/l speeds only reach 25 Mps, while my PS3, smart tv, and Apple TV reach speeds of up to 75 Mps. Every time it starts it reports a network error - even though there is none. I must have got a lemon because the reviews of this product seem very positive.

In the review fields you are asked if you would recommend Sony to a friend - yes I would recommend decent Sony products to a friend, just not this product.

Just plain lousy

Blu ray player is barely over a year old and of course out of warranty. Netflix constantly freezes and requires unit to be unplugged from power to unfreeze. The unit has up to date firmware. I've tried the factory reset and still does same thing. Bottom line is these are junk! Mine is going in the trash.

Streaming apps constantly freeze

It's Great compact product for home entertainment, but I don't know why on earth it doesn't support persian subtitle file (cp1252) I'm learning persian thus I need to watch movies with persian subtitle.

Great Device,Not support subtitle cp1252 (persian)

Only used occasionally,but unit stopped working when it was 10 months old.Very unusual for Sony product.

Major malfunction

I do not know how Sony could get away with making a product like this. Though the Blu-ray player part of it has no problems the apps are constantly crashing. I don't think that I go more than two uses without some kind of crash that I have to unplug it and plug it back in. When I use the Netflix app I get regular freezes. And it's not because it's buffering. It just freezes. The Amazon app is always buggy! I just tried to crackle app and it doesn't work either

Persistently crashes

I purchased this DVD player 6 months ago and am just getting it installed in my new remodel. It performs up to expectations and I'm very pleased with it

Performs very well

Player built is small but it sure does packs some punches..brilliant 3D...Blu ray movies looks stunning..excellent web browsing..only peeve though the menu could have been better..only a small gripe..overall awesome value for money..

Value for money

I bought this thinking SONY would have great products for streaming becuase of PlayStation technology. The streaming quality has always been slow and frustrating with the buffering wheel of death stuck at 25% until i restart. I use my Roku stick that has no problem. When i tried to watch DVDs it doesn't recognize or claims the DVD is faulty when all DVDs can be read in any other player i have. This is waste of money.

Very Disappointed!!

I just receined my new 3D Blu-Ray player. Setup took a few minutes. Had to go online to get latest Firmware updates/

Great Easy to set up

When I first purchase it, I thought "Great a Sony product, I shouldn't have to replace this anytime soon!" Well although the BRP works well and picture quality is excellent, my issues seem to be with the Apps. I bought this for my bedroom, after two Toshiba's crashed in two years. I have a PS3 & Sony 5.1 SS and have never had a problem. But this unit just keeps locking up on Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, Web browser. I think its a memory problem. I either have to reset the entire unit (3 times in less than a year) or go through all of my apps and erase history. That doesn't work quite as well, but it is easier than having to input all the information again. I came on this site today to get support to remove the apps I never use and prevent it from adding new ones on updates. Wish me luck!

Average from my experiences with BRP

Can't believe the picture is sharp and clear for a small compact device.

A space saving device.

The product produces good pictures and when controlled by the provided controller works well. I would like to put this on my home network and control the product from my iPhone using an app (as I do with my Sony TV). I would like a Sony app for iPhone to control the unit.

Blue Ray disc player

Very good player ,great picture, coax sound out, good Wi Fi and small size.Very good value.

Great picture sound and features.

Easy to set up. Super quality picture on both blue ray and DVD.

Great Product

I bought this product about 2 months ago. It's a great bit of kit which many great features! Wireless connection to broadband and USB compatibility, plays every type of disc I need and at a great price! One down side is the lack of connection on the back!! No optical link etc! Just one hdmi socket and if you lose or break the remote it's pretty much useless unless you have a spare or buy another one!

Sony S5500 blu-ray player

Picture quality is spot on. Features are good aswell

Great

Very versatile play's all types of DVD's and Blu-rays

good features, good price, 3D, wireless lan, usb,one hdmi would like 2 as a through, would like a better search engine on internet fiddly controls,small and compact.

great features quality

brilliant product. would highly recommend. Excellent value for money.

small & compact

Bought the blu ray player a couple of weeks ago, well tested, good product.

3d blu ray

Great, good product quality. Picture quality and 3 D are fantastic. Better reduce the size of the player.

Awesome quality

Small, compact with great features very easy to use.

Able to wirelessly link to all of my accounts

What appears to be at first sight an insignificant tiny box transforms into a truly fabulous all round performer at this price level. Picture and sound detail are excellent on Blu -Ray and the up scaling of DVDs are also very good 3D is flawless. My only gripe (and it is a small one) is the lack of a front panel display on the player. All in all a great buy

Tiny box great performer

The picture quality and speed of menu's are really good, but the wifi facility isn't too great, you have to keep registering the router all the time and it doesn't play all mp4's which my last blu - ray did.
