Customer Review :
A good gadget but some weird network issues : Sony BDP-S580 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black)
I managed to pick up an open box S580 at Best Buy the same week it was released. More on that towards the end...
I've based my view of this Sony S580 compared to Samsung's 2010 top of the line Bd-C7900 -- the player with two Hdmi outputs. That was (briefly) my first Hi-Def Dvd player, after our six year-old Sony 5-disc carousel began spitting discs. But I couldn't help it -- I returned the Samsung shortly after finding Sony's S580 coming out at $100 less than what I paid for the open box Samsung.
I was hoping Sony had stepped up their game with respect to the on-screen interface and Netflix queue. Unfortunately, not: Sony's menu theory on the S580 is pretty staid, the straight-forward line-by-line menus close to what they were contribution on last year's x70 models. Back also is the unsortable grid layout Netflix queue. This is a big unlikeness to Samsung's flashier menus with expanding menu icons (ala Apple's taskbar on Os X) and a more dynamic Netflix selection page (though it, too, is more flash than substance and leaves a lot to be desired). Oh, and Sony's remote is horrible for entering text, for instance when searching for a video on YouTube.
But the Sony's nuts and bolts are all tight: The Sony "feel" is more large than the feather-light Samsung. It's got four goofy yet functional, no-nonsense puny match-head buttons, not the sleek buttonless, Led-backlit touch sensitive panel of the Samsung. Both players start up within seconds. Sony's got a boring, contract remote but it feels well built and comfortable, not Fisher-Price like Samsung's. And there's something about Sony's tray opening and closing that just feels like it's able to put up with some abuse, and will be around for a while.
Basically for me it came down to this tired old summary: I'd date the Samsung, but marry the Sony.
Sony setup was a breeze, Bluray playback has been uneventful, Sd playback is super cleaned-up so no complaints of the upscaling (thought it's obviously not comparable to BluRay quality), can't criticism on 3D yet since I'm still waiting on my Tv, Pandora works great for just playing in the background, and YouTube videos are certainly watchable (but entering crusade queries is a slow pain in the kiester). The player is dead quiet -- puny whisper of a wind up whine, but basically silent once it gets going. Wireless networking is ultimately built in (not a dongle), and the connection to my home Pc happened with the click of a (remote) button. Amazon's house brand Hdmi cables are working without a hitch, but again, I've yet to play 3D content with them.
Now, the cautionary part. I bought mine open box, and whoever had it before me registered NetFlix. I was stuck with their Dora the Explorer-themed queue, and it certainly takes a call to NetFlix to deregister it. Can't just hit the reset button. And, believe it or not, NetFlix doesn't do customer preserve stuff like this over email (at least, that's what I was able to decipher -- I hope I'm wrong, but don't think so). So if you're planning on grabbing one of these as a return from Amazon's WarehouseDeals.com, just expect a puny extra mystery getting up and running.
Samsung has a whole slew of their certainly sexy, gorgeous 2011 'D'-series players coming out now and in the next consolidate months, but I just feel more inescapable with this (relatively) solid feeling Sony player sitting on the shelf. Sony's user interface may be a puny conservative and lack pizazz, but Samsung's flashiness is already getting knocked for Netflix bugs and promised operating theory updates.
Edit 4/7: After talking a puny smack about the 2010 Samsung players, and finding the Sony S580 price dip to the $150 price point, I (1) returned my $200 open-box S580 to Best Buy due mainly to the Netflix issue I mentioned with the intention of buying a sealed unit from Amazon, but then (2) had the opening to check out Samsung's 2011 units. I ended up purchasing a 2011 Samsung Bd-D6700 from Amazon... I wrote a bunch about this decision (and the ordeal surrounding this seemingly straightforward Dvd player purchase) below, in the comments to this review, in response to Ty Harden's (largely justified) criticism of my inability to make up my mind. It may be worth your time to read, especially if you're thinking of upgrading just the Dvd player but using an older Tv or receiver.
