After doing some extensive research, it seems that this model suffers from some inherently fatal flaws. Google the BDP S300 and you'll find literally THOUSANDS of complaints about the same problem. from Amazon.com I've had this device for some time now. The loading issue is one of three issues that I've had with it. from Amazon.com I bought this several years ago when the HD/Blue Ray wars ended. I purchased several Blue Ray discs and was content with the initial viewing. from Amazon.com Purchased 2, one for the bedroom and one for the family room. Starting time, loading times are unacceptable. Quality of the hd/bd is glossy without detail @1080P24fps. from Amazon.com This player is very slow to load movies. Some people have reported 10-15 minute load times. from Amazon.com I bought the BDP-S300 in March of 2008. I've had all the freeze up problems, problems with rented DVD's mentioned in these reviews. from Amazon.com Bought this in Fall 07. I have used it sparingly and maintained it meticulously(firmware is current, unit is clean), but it doesn't play many rented Blu-rays. Which makes it useless. from Amazon.com I was an early adopter - purchasing the s300 in October 2007 - and had no difficulties with it until December 2008. I subsequently purchased the second generation PS3 and the S350 in November 2008. from Amazon.com As an avid film fan, I considered it essential to get on board with the HD technology, which I did shortly after the format war was over. In a hurry to be a full participant, I went for a middle-priced BDP and settled on Sony's BDP S300. from Amazon.com I can't tell you how disappointed I am with Sony and this product. I am sorry I ever purchased it. from Amazon.com
