As one of the major players in the Blu-ray vs. HD DVD format war, we weren't surprised when Sony announced a price drop for the BDP-S300 to the relatively low list price of $500. Despite the fact that we've been wowed by Blu-ray's image quality, price has

Sony's budget blu-ray baby is nothing short of amazing. Sadly, it's also pointless.
Review Verdict: A decent effort at an affordable player, but most people would be better off with a PS3 instead.

The Sony BDP-S300 delivers the kind of picture performance that we've come to expect from an entry-level BD deck
Review Verdict: However, as a straight DVD spinner, the S300 is only average. Frequency response at 5.8MHz is mediocre, and player deinterlacing is poor. It failed both our jaggies test and a horizontal text crawl test

A Blu-ray player for under £250 from Sony - what's that catch?
Review Verdict: The BDP-S300 might be one of the cheapest Blu-ray players on the market but be prepared to make sacrifices if you buy one - it only supports one of the four HD audio formats and its Profile 1.0 spec means you won't be able to access Bonus View features.
