@granskare Sony Blu-Ray players are different, I guess. And VHS is virtually extinct. Yes, Blu-Rays are expensive, but they'll get cheaper... Just you wait! :) And they have the best picture quality when connected to an HDTV. :)
@techguy8326 It's not a Sony Blu-Ray player. It's a Samsung Blu-Ray player. I don't know what model number it is or anything like that, but when I check out the box sometime soon, I'll let you know. I got it in early October, last month.
@techguy8326 My previous Blu-Ray player didn't have internet access either, and it was made before Blu-Rays got the chip in 2008 to load faster and get all the features. So I couldn't watch Snow White, Up, and Beauty and the Beast with the old player, but with this new one I can. And it's AWESOME! xD
@KingBuick i think mine was made a few months before the new generation players were released. Why couldn't you watch those classic movies before? Oh and btw Up was amazing on blu ray :)
@techguy8326 The reason why I couldn't watch the above mentioned classics on my old Blu-Ray player is because they had the new chips installed in them, which is standard on all Blu-Rays from 2008 onwards. My old Blu-Ray player was made a long time before the change took place, so it couldn't load all the features for the newer Blu-Rays. And yes, I watched UP last Sunday night on my new Blu-Ray player, and it's amazing! The documentaries are terrific! :)
and here I also thought it was only a sony th ing...they tried to defeat VHS with their BETA but no sale...very expensive n:)

@granskare That's what I do to, although Blu-Ray is amazing. I'm going to get DirecTV, which is much better than cable! :)

What brand is this Blu-ray player is this? It doesn't look like a typical Sony Blu-ray player.

@KingBuick Ok thanks. It actually looks better than my Sony BDP S-500 which, unfortunatly, doesn't have internet access.
