I ordered this blu-ray player from Amazon in March 2009. It stopped playing discs in August 2009. I contacted Sony service and was told that the unit was still covered by warranty and I should ship it to their Pennsylvania facility for repair at no cost (except for shipping charges, of course). from Amazon.com If you are expecting high def imaging on Blu-ray disks equal to HDTV you won't get it with this unit. However, since movies will eventually only be available in this format, consumers will eventually be forced to go with it. As for now, the Sony BDP-S550 is not worth the money if you already have a high quality DVD player and are satisfied with the DVD movie offerings available to you. from Amazon.com Just a quick review here, I have set up many Blu-ray players for friends, and these are my favorites. They work great, are full featured and have excellent remotes. from Amazon.com So I'm sure everyone can look at how the picture quality stands up to other options, load times, ect. All seem just fine on this player (for a Blu-ray). from Amazon.com We have a sony XBR6, wall mounted. Blu-rays look very nice. from Amazon.com the sony bdps550 is a great blu ray machine. it is simple to operate and delivers great video as well as sound. from Amazon.com I have both the BDP-S350 and BPD-S550. The 550 runs my main TV & audio system, which is why having 7.1 analog channels is important for me. from Amazon.com We have always had trouble with this since we bought it. It takes about 10 minutes to play a movie because it takes forever to run the movie. from Amazon.com While I'm sure the 1080p picture, HD sound, etc is all well and good but where's the usual features from normal DVD players? There's no frame by frame, zoom, or Divx/xvid reading. from Amazon.com Bought this Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray player about 6 weeks ago. My first Blu-ray player and so far no problems at all. from Amazon.com
