This player worked fine for the first eight or so movies, but soon after, the video started freezing up until, finally, the "CANNOT PLAY THIS DISC" message appears. After checking the Sony website I requested a firmware update disc from Sony and installed the update. However, that did not fix the problem. The player tends to run very hot, so don't store in a compartment with other A/V equipment such as a wall unit or cabinet with a stereo. Also, be sure to set the "video format" on the remote to 1080i, or you will not be watching anything in HD. The default, believe it or not, is standard 480p. You will have to get used to how slow Bluray players operate. It is really a disappointment after spending so much money for a product that is inferior to cheap $49 dvd players.
My advice is to wait until the bluray player technology improves.
Just Dive in!!! March 18, 2008

I got mine refurbished for $250 and got an amazing buy, well considering it is $399 everywhere else. For the price it was well worth it. I considered waiting for one of the new lines of Blu-ray in the up and coming months but I was impatient. I wanted to dive into what I have been seeing displayed at Sears, Best Buy etc. so I got a refurbished Sony 40XBR4 and one of these. The television made the most difference. I received it first and had my DVD player hooked to it... WOW! That 120Hz makes all of the difference. Then of course the Blu-ray came in and I had even more fun. I really don't see a HUGE difference between the DVD and Blu-ray quality wise, but if you have to have one NOW, don't pay more than $300ish for one of these. I have had no problems playing any movies so far and the only really slow to load movie had been the first POTC.

Purchased this product several weeks ago. I've had nothing but problems. My copy of Pirates of the Caribbean would not play back correctly (fresh out of the shrinkwrap mind you, not a speck of dust or scratch, a completely virgin disc). The player woud freeze up at random during playback. I found out later it would freeze up and become unresponsive to remote input or front panel controls after being on for more than a few hours. Definately has heat issues. Cannot get anywhere with Sony's support department. I'm dumping my meager Blu-Ray collection on eBay and going with a more robust high-def format.
 Awesome with other HD components January 22, 2008

I have had this now for about 3 weeks and my first movie was Ghost Rider....simply AWESOME. I read a lot of reviews about the Sony BDP-S300 and there seemed to be a lot of issues with it, especially the load times. Well, I am not sure if this is the 'fix' to the 300, but the 301 has been GREAT! Ghost Rider rocks and I just got '300' to view.
I will admit, I won't buy any movie for Bluray, only super action films, but if you use the same, high-quality HD components, the audio and video are unmatched. I have an Onkyo reciever and a LG LCD tv. I use the HDMI set up for video and a fiber optic cable for audio from the bluray to the receiver as it acts as a thru-put for the TV. With my Polk speakers, you just can't beat it....no slow load times. Just might take about 20 seconds to power on, but I am used to boot times with computers. The operation is whisper quiet and it basically runs cool...no overheating.
GO SONY!
