The price seems to be a price change ,amazon usually show you the previous price. I've priced that on amazon before and it was £129.

Good bargain.

Mark my words ,the price will be back at £129 soon, this is temporary, this player was reduced to £99 a few months ago aswell for a few days.
Argos changed their sony player price to £100 today so I think this is amazon trying to get even. But I doubt if its a permanent price change.
Great bargain indeed, I need to go out an get me a 3v voucher!

Ironically the free hdmi cable wont ship to Ireland so thats not an option Im afraid.

Very good player. Got it back in July and works great.

On thing about the price. I'm not sure where people are coming from with the 129. Just checked my receipt and it was 102.97 excl vat back in july. With UK VAT, that only comes to £120.99, (so, £21 off the previous price). Still a good bargain. It might go up a bit again, but not for long. Blu ray players are becoming mainstream now and it will be common to see sub-€100 soon.

I was pricing the player on amazon and it was only about a tenner cheaper than powercity. Powercity has them for 150

Anyone try DivX and MKV files with it? does it show long titles. My Philips shows only 8 character in titles.

I've attached the receipt:


EDIT: Just looked at the totals there and realised - the unit price is inclusive of VAT (Irish). Therefore I must have got it when it was £99 before (receipt says July 2nd)

I never doubted that you didnt purchase it for £99 , What i said that it is usually £129+, It was up to £134 for the past few weeks. My 2nd post said that a few months ago amazon reduced the player to £99 for a few days and then put it back up to £129 a few days later, looks like you bought yours in the few days it was reduced to £99.
Trust me , I have been checking the prices of the player nearly every day for the past few months.

I was looking for a DVD player than can handle MKV files.

Is this sony better than say the LG BD360
http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-BD360-Definition-Blu-Ray-YouTube/dp/B002LSHBRO

Which is €99 (not pounds) in Xtravision?

oneweb

Date first available at Amazon.co.uk: 1 July 2006

Is this model kept up to date with firmware releases or would it use old functionality (sometimes there's various revisions of a standard)

looking at review dates it came out spring 2010

Pangea

Yes indeed its back down again to £99, great deal.
One web you can download the firmware updates from your router to your blueray player, or else you can burn them to disc.
Its a very popular blue ray player so it is kep up to date.
I seriosuly doubt it is four years old though. The reviews on amazon only go back to May and another website says that player was released in the Spring of 2010, so there you have it.
edit: ghost train just said that too lol

Boston B From what i read on forums the sony player plays mkvs files.
The LG looks nice, I dont think it has 24p support though , the sony has.
Other than that I cant see much difference , maybe someone else can.

Heres a review on it

So does the Samsung quoted above...

Svetti Arss

Can anyone recommend a good value sound system to use with this (BDP-S370)?

oneweb

For anyone still interested, this is available in the sales...

Argos €127.77

Powercity €129.95

amazon.co.uk stg99.00

It was 109.99 on Stephens Day on Powercity's website. Picked one up myself, it is excellent machine, great BluRay quality, excellent USB support (MKV, AVI), but a bit finicky getting the DLNA working (had to use a app called tvMobili to get it to work correctly).

The only shame is that poor old Ireland doesn't have access to same set of services that the UK (iPlayer, 5OnDemand, LoveFilm) and the US (Hulu, Netflix, Pandora) have, with those services this machine would be absolutely awesome.

BostonB

What DLNA?

Been looking for a regular DVD with MKV support. This sounds ideal. Is there support for long file names?

Gaolcon

will this happen again

jeromeof

DLNA basically allows you to share media AVI/MKV JPG MP3 across your home network. This player only has ethernet (unless you pay Eur50 extra for a wifi adapter) but if your can connect it to your Network router, any computer or even a NAS drive can potentially be the like a remote USB drive to this machine. Basically, I have a central computer which shares lots of drives of media including any downloaded AVI's etc and it is automatically visible in a similar way to plugging in a USB drive. The advantage is you never have to worry about copy files over to usb drives as the machine remotely accesses the files.

While this might sound great, it is my experience that DLNA is very finicky so I am pleasantly surprised that the tvMobili DLNA server (running on my central computer) recognizes this player and works well.

Yes it supports long files names so no worries there. It also works surprisingly well with my Samsung TV, given they are different brands I wouldn't have thought the remotes would work, but the Samsung TV remote can control the media playback on the device, so I only need to keep one remote out most of the time.

As for it the same deal happens again, I would say it is very likely, I don't think the Sales are finished yet.
