Recently acquired a new Sony Blu-ray Player (BDP-S570). I got it for $150 from BestBuy. I did not want 3D option, but there was no way getting around it. I did want the wifi adapter built in through. This model has the built-in wi-fi and it works great. I have had it for about a week, and there enjoying it very much. The load times are very fast even with BD-Live content. Even the firmware update was fast.
I have also played around with the built-in apps. I setup Pandora, which needed to be registered online and then it magically worked. I also used the Slacker app to listen/water music videos. I personally don”t see myself using the applications on the Blu-ray player. I might look at them again when I get bored, but I personally do not see a point to having these applications. I can see having NetFlix, HuluPlus, and Pandora, but out of that, not sure about the other ones.
So far all in all, I am very impressed with the Sony BDP-S570 Blu-ray Player. Internal wifi, quick load times, and fast firmware updates.
