Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray DVD Player
by Matthew Moskovciak
Review Verdict:
The BDP-S300 is a decent choice if you're limiting yourself to a relatively cheap, standard-design Blu-ray player, but everyone else should consider the competition.

QuickTake:
Pros: Excellent picture quality on Blu-ray and DVD; DVD upconversion up to 1080p; HDMI output.
Cons: No onboard Dolby TrueHD decoding; slow load times, particularly unbearable on newer BD Java discs like Pirates of the Caribbean; some minor video performance issues; no Ethernet port for firmware upgrades.
A Blu-ray player for under £250 from Sony - what's that catch?...
