Sony bdp-s185 bluray smart player

tunner · 2012-04-17 07:41:05

Saw these in tesco the other day. Good price I think. Even for an entry level smart bluray player. €85. Not bad! Here is the spec http://www.whathifi.com/review/sony-bdp-s185

If you want a similarly priced player with a much higher spec, try this:

It has a USB port on the front for playback (including MKV). The one I bought has played everything that has been thrown at it so far.

Probably not worth it at the price above all the same - as I said I got it for 49 euro.

Nope, that's the price for them on their own. It was posted later but I can't find that link. And they had a tonne of them on display instore when I was there in Belfast a few weeks ago. Mail them and see if they have any left!
