Summary : Nice Player
This is a very nice player that works as described. Does fantastic blu ray with my 720p projector. You can really see the difference with the big screen. Netflix has been a problem so far, first night I was able to stream a movie, but haven't been able to log in since. Having to go through Sony has been the problem. Having to turn on and off player and ejecting disc manually has been the only mechanical inconvenience, but happy with player otherwise.

Summary : first blu ray dvd player owned
I longed to purchase a blu ray player, becease of the hype surrounding the quality video and sound. I am not dissappointed, however it is not what I expected. Let me explain further, at the time of my purchase I also bought a home theatre sound system with the expectation that viewing the blu ray dvd along with the recommended hmdi cable and a home theatre system the sound alone would blow me away, that was not the case. The sound quality was good the picture quality good, but what I was actualy looking for was excellent video and sound.

Summary : The step above the stuff found in most stores
I found by accident that the wife bought for me from the local "club" store the 350 model for Christmas (she asked me to empty the car and there it was!). While checking it out online I found that for the same money I can buy the next model up. The 450 model works well with my 2 year old Sony XBR flat screen mounted in the family room. I had already ran a Ethernet cable up to the room, something you need for it's added features. I've been watching some free web stuff from YouTube and the like. Keep in mind your going to need High Speed Internet, and a USB 2.0, 2gig or better (I'm using a 4) flash dongle which plugs in the back. Sony recommends using a Sony product and is short on specifics otherwise. The Blue ray disks are amazing to watch. Keep in mind that blue ray format is still evolving, and you'll need the INTERNET to update the built in software; something which has happened twice so far.

Summary : Sony (fun) BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc player- FUN!
We have owned this for under a week and love it. no more pay per view through the cable company... We have a samsung 42" 720 ppi TV- everything looks GREAT on it..
The setup of the player was easy, I was able to instantly watch netflix, fast loading, with no problems. Netflix was clear, crisp, sound was good.
Blu-ray discs are amazing... had to move our speakers around a little in order to appreciate the sounds.
listening to the "slacker" radio station that loads with this machine- great!
If I ever have problems I may change my review, but so far, fun fun fun!

Summary : Excellent Blu Ray
The Panasonic player is top of the line. I researched before buying and glad I chose this one. The selling point in my mind was the SD card slot. I take the card from the camera, put it in the slot and watch my stills and videos right on my 62 inch TV. One HDMI cable and you're set up. Beautiful picture quality and easy to use remote.Panasonic DMP-BD60 Bluray Player (Black)

Summary : Great disc player!
I shall state up front that this is my first Blue-Ray player and have owned it for one month. The picture it displays on my 46-inch Samsung LCD TV is beautiful. After much research on the TV and player, I was expecting great results. I have them. Blue-ray playback is astounding. The DVD resolution upscaling is truly amazing. Mind you, my viewing is on a screen where flaws are easily discernible. What's really surprising is even compressed (avg 70%), backup copies of movies I own look fantastic! My only gripes are: 1) the player's startup is slow (the time it takes to turn on, open the tray and start reading the disc, but again, this is my first Blue-Ray player so maybe it's no slower than other players and I'm just being impatient. 2) The Open Tray button sticks a bit, sometimes requiring a second or third push on the console (but not the remote). This isn't annoying enough to warrant return to the seller. Internet connectivity offers data streaming (eg. news, weather, sports and stocks). I don't care about that. Video streaming is something to consider. This unit is not Netflix compatible but does offer Amazon Videos which I tried and works well over 5Gbs cable. In comparision, Netflix upper echelon memberships are a much better deal, so you should decide if you'd rather a Netflix player. Once again, this did not influence my decision. I wasn't looking for a unit with bells and whistles. I wanted a Blue-ray player that produces great disc playback and upscaling, and that's what I have. Panasonic (IMHO) has always produced quality electronics. I have never shyed away from its products and would choose over contendor Sony and Toshiba players. This unit definitely lives up to my expectations. At sale price of $140 on Amazon, it's a great bargain. I highly recommend this disc player.

Summary : First impression: Did I steal this from Amazon?
I can't believe Amazon gave me this player for $124.99. I feel like I stole it. The picture and audio quality rivals that of very expensive players. I'm very happy with this purchase and I may just have to start looking harder at Panasonic products. Very impressed! It's products like this that will help push more Blu-ray movies out of the door at retailers.

Summary : Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray DVD Player
This is my second HD DVD player. A year ago, I bought a Toshiba HDDVD player and watched the Planet Earth series on my Panasonic 42" plasma TV. It was breathtaking. Alas, I had guessed wrong about HDDVD beating the Blu-Ray format, and now a year later there are no discs being produced for the HDDVD. It's a pity, because I believe the Toshiba HDDVD player gives a better picture than the Panasonic Bluray player. The screen displays of the Toshiba were also more pleasing than the Panasonic Bluray player. Both the Toshiba and the Panasonic are frustratingly slow to remote commands, and they are both black. I find both of those qualities to be negative. I don't know why components have to be black; all of mine are. It makes it difficult to find their controls without getting your eyes right up to them.
I haven't attempted to make any other functional comparisons of HDDVD and Blu-ray, but superficially, it appears to me that the best technology lost in this contest. Thirty years ago VHS won over BetaMax in a fair contest of superior technology, but Blu-ray over HDDVD seems tainted by Time-Warner refusing to support the HDDVD format in favor of the Blu-ray format. The best man doesn't always win in America.
The Panasonic Blu-ray player works easily with the remote control for my Panasonic plasma TV, so that is a positive. The price of the Bluray players is now acceptable, so Blu-ray DVDs should become more plentiful and therefore not so costly as they are even now. Time will tell.
