Excerpt: The Sony BDP-S300 was an entry-level Blu-ray disc player when it appeared on shelves. It delivers Blu-ray functionality flawlessly and works well with my Sony Bravia TV.
Summary: Whenever I start it up it takes about a minute to start. It takes even longer to load a blu-ray disc. Otherwise the movies are crisp and clear.
Summary: IT'S A LITTLE SLOW STARTING UP BUT ONCE IT GET GOING IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE AND THE SOUND IS RIGHT ON TIME ONLY THING THAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PLAYER IS THAT IT'S NOT
Does not deserve the vitriol from the other reviews

Summary: I've had this Blu-Ray player for 18 months now and I've had no problems viewing the latest Blu-Ray titles. You just need to update the firmware every so often.
Summary: $200 for a blu-ray player is a good deal, but this machine is pretty slow on power on, and also takes too much time to load, eventhough I updated the firmware, it's still
Summary: Boy, is this player SLOW to start up. And boy, is it SLOW to load blu-ray disks (standard DVD's load much faster). Otherwise it is a good experience.
