Bought this player because of the WiFi ability...and extensive positive ratings. Works just fine, can access my Pandora account to play great music through the home stereo, and hooks up quickly to Netflix and Hulu for those video choices. Don't really like the Netflix interface as much as it shows smaller pics of the choices, but it is fine. So, instead of getting an Apple TV or Roku I decided the Blu-Ray player with WiFi replaced a DVD player and added the same WiFi as the Apple TV and Roku without another footprint on the shelf.
Had a couple of issues with the setting up the WiFi and one issue with the player not working properly, but the Sony customer service was competent and had the issues fixed quickly. One problem required unplugging the device and replugging it...just like you have to do with your other electronics nowadays to get it to reset.
I don't watch as many DVD movies anymore due to the streaming choices available, but this player is fine with DVD's...and inexpensive compared to what Blu Ray players were going for just a couple years ago.

I purchased the Sony BDP-S580 Blu-ray player to replace our PS3 Fat which had YLOD problems twice. The PS3 is said to be one of the best Blu-ray players on the market. I tend to agree but the YLOD problem scared me off from buying another one. The PS3 slim has YLOD problems too but certainly not as bad as the original fat model. Anyway, I am very pleased with the S580. I have had it about a month and it has performed flawlessly. The unit loads discs rapidly and the picture and sound are outstanding, certainly on par with the PS3. I also enjoy the pre-loaded services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Slacker, Pandora as well. The wifi connection has been problem free. The remote is good but I programmed my Blu-Link universal remote and now use it in lieu of the supplied remote.

I love this Blu-Ray Player! (So does my wife who usually hates electronics). It is fairly intuitive to set up with the wireless feature, the remote is easy to use, and the applications that are included are incredible! It raises the bar on image quality for older DVD movies and it serves as a stereo system through my HDTV. It provides an easy means to play videos, digital music and view my pictures all from a memory stick or external drive (which MUST be in "FAT32" format - not "NTFS" format - to work with this player). NetFlix or other several other online movie services are available. Of course it plays Blu-Ray discs too!

It is a Comprehensive Entertainment System that is affordable for most anyone with HDTV technology. I would not want to go back to my Pre-Blu-Ray Player days. I would rather fight than switch. Sony has built one incredible machine!!!

This Blu Ray Player works great. The wireless works great for netflix aps but works even better wired. Easy set up works great with my Sony Bravia TV and my Sony surround sound system.
