Picked up a Sony BPD-S470 3D BD Player.. Really slick!
The thing is small, same thin 1" tall profile like their latest gen DVD players. Connectivity is good IMO, has two USB ports, one on the front, one on the back.
Options and setup was a breeze, though it defaults to having 1080i out of the box without running the setup routine (which takes about 2 minutes).
DVDs will play in native 480 if you don't run the setup and select 1080p as the default video output. Didn't realize this out of the gate and forgot how "bad" un-up-converted DVDs look in a 1080p display. Once fixed, it did a better job of my Samsung DVD up-converter. PQ on my Epson 8100 was brilliant.
The player is really fast too, spin-up and loading BD's is just plain quick.
I haven't had a chance to attach it to my network yet to test out the netflix and home media server capabilities, thats up next.
The only complaint i have is the front panel buttons are really small and are laying flat on the bottom "lip" of the player.. not very tactile.
Now i just need some 3D Content, some Glasses.. a new Tv.. eh.. ****.. ok, got a long way to go before i get to watch 3D with it.. Bah!
