If you're looking for a Blu-ray player that is big in features but small in size then you should look no further than the feature packed but compact Sony BDPS185 Blu-ray player.
This new Sony Blu-ray player is small and sexy - able to fit in spaces that full size players won't go but packed with some of the best features that we've ever seen on a Blu-ray player. It's fast loading, Blu-rays play almost instantly - which is a far cry from earlier models. While the early Blu-ray players were the equivalent of the Reliant Robin.. This is the Blu-ray player equivalent of a Stealth Bomber.
It has features that you wouldn't expect to get in a Blu-ray player so small in size and price. Not content with merely playing your existing DVDs in the highest quality possible, in addition to full High Definition Blu-rays, this Sony Blu-ray Player has 'Sony's Precision Drive' technology built into the player - it actually compensates for scratched or damaged discs - extending the life of your old DVDs.
And not only that, this sleek and sexy player will stay completely in date. It connects to the internet where you can access services like BBC iPlayer and YouTube. There's also Sony's own Music Unlimited service (although that costs extra). It connects to your home network and you can even plug devices in the front of the player to watch videos, photos or listen to music through the Blu-ray player.
As you'd expect from Sony, who invented the Blu-ray format; this new Blu-ray player boasts an unbeatable top quality picture and sound with full 1080p High Definition, (5x the quality of an ordinary DVD), along with a clarity of sound that transforms the movie experience.
Movie nights will never be the same again!
Easy to use by technophobes but packed with extra features for the extra geeky, this Blu-ray player IS the best thing since sliced bread. Well... apart from Blockbuster of course. Highly recommended.

reasonable price though
Review here if anyone needs it
my router with NAS streams my films but would be good to get a blueray which can receive the DLNA for displaying on the telly. Will be getting a TV which will receive DLNA but waiting till the iTV comes out.
Good deal as it comes with a free two year guarantee
Also does it really not have optical out?
Partly answered in #4. LF yes, NF no.
Total = £74.98 with delivery
Yes you can buy blu-ray players that will stream from DNLA - I think LG do one
The site is fine - Norton is not.
decent player
It was these...The "Blu-ray Disc founder group" was started on May 20, 2002 by MIT and nine leading electronic companies: Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Thomson, LG (Lucky GoldStar) Electronics, Hitachi, Sharp, and Samsung.[2] In order to enable more companies to participate, it announced in May 2004 that it would form the Blu-ray Disc Association, which was inaugurated on October 4, 2004.
