One Blu-ray player that won't bring out the blues
Expert review by : Jamie Carter (techradar.com)
3D Blu-ray, DivX HD and BBC iPlayer for a notch over £100; Sony presents the moon on a stick
Compact design ; Plays 3D Blu-ray discs ; 2D & 3D Picture quality ; BBC iPlayer & Lovefilm ; Price
No built-in Wi-Fi ; Poor networking
Whether or not 3D as a format has a future, and especially a present, in your home is up to you. The so-called hunger among consumers for 3D certainly isn't obvious to us, though Sony – one of the third dimension's biggest promoters – is seeking to get...

BDPS370 BLU-RAY DISC PLAYER FULL SPECIFICATION PROFILE 2.0
Expert review by : Jamie Carter (pocket-lint.com)
Is it time we abandoned the 2D Blu-ray player? At this low price Sony's BDP-S470 makes a serious bid at being not just an excellent 3D Blu-ray player, but a fantastic value all-rounder that could quickly see the rug pulled from under non-3D players....
3D-ready, low price, simple design, digital file support, HD images
Wi-Fi adaptor required, limited networking
Found for as low as £130 online, Sony’s BDP-S470 makes for a wonderful 2D Blu-ray alone - with 3D support virtually free. Excellent picture quality makes sure of that, but its superb user interface chucks in not just all-round digital file support from...

With an RRP of £159 inc VAT, the Sony BDP-S470 Blu-ray player provides an affordable entry point into 3D video – although naturally you'll need a 3D TV to make use of this feature.
The Sony BDP-S470 is an affordable 3D Blu-ray player that ticks nearly every box on a videophile's wish-list. That said, there are cheaper options available for those who aren't interesed in 3D Blu-ray, such as Sony's BDP-S370 Blu-ray player.

Sony's BDP S470 Blu-Ray Player lets you enjoy movies in glistening 1080p full high definition. Its Quick Start/Quick Load system lets you play movies faster, while its web skills let you connect to the Internet to access movie extras, updates TV shows...
An excellent all round 3D Blu-ray spinner that delivers pretty much everything you could want (with one notable exception) at a good price. Sony BDP-S470 Blu-ray player is tagged with Sony BDP S470 Blu-Ray Player, Sony, Blu-Ray player and 3D. Select a...

Sony BDP-S470 Blu-ray player review: an affordable Blu-ray player with 3D capabilities and Bravia Internet Video streaming
Excellent 1080p video quality in 2D and 3D, user-friendly interface, attractive design
Virtually identical to the Sony BDP-S370 (which retails for $70 less)
The Sony BDP-S470 is an affordable 3D Blu-ray player that ticks nearly every box on a videophile's wish-list. That said, there are cheaper options available for those who aren't interested in 3D Blu-ray, such as Sony's BDP-S370 Blu-ray player.

The outstanding Sony BDPS470 3D Blu-ray player proves that you don't have to pay a premium for usable features and stellar performance.
Excellent audio and video ; IPTV offering is best in show ; MKV playback ; 3D Blu-ray capability ; Cheap as
Minimal on-board controls ; Hooking up to a receiver gives better surround sound
With less than a week to go of 2010 we've finally found our favourite disk player of the year. It does everything you'd need it to and at just AU$300 it seems hard to justify spending more on a Blu-ray player. What this player doesn't do, you won't...
