After doing some extensive research, it seems that this model suffers from some inherently fatal flaws. Google the BDP S300 and you'll find literally THOUSANDS of complaints about the same problem. It is prone to lockups, skipping, and the dreaded "NO DISC" error that seems all too common.
Of course, Sony blames it on the discs, but in truth, the problem seems to lie in hard drive crashes that occur in as little as two months after purchase. Sony also tells you to make sure you have the latest firmware update (the latest is v4.90), but they know that once you get the "NO DISC" error regardless of the type of disc, it's too late...the software won't read the update disc either.
This is such a widespread problem, and Sony is well aware, but once your warranty expires, you're on your own.
The BDP S300 is nothing more than an expensive doorstop. Better to research and buy another brand that is up to date and much more reliable.

I can't believe how incredibly slow this player is in loading disks, powering up and even ejecting disks. I had a lot of problems playing half the blu-ray disks I rented until I updated the firmware but that did not speed up the other functions. I love the picture quality however.

I've had this device for some time now. The loading issue is one of three issues that I've had with it. The second is that it doesn't have HD audio (DTS-HD,Dolby-HD, TrueHD). Third is, there WILL be occasional skipping and freezing. I've managed to limit the number of occurrences that this happens by making sure I clean all rental dvd's before placing them inside my player. This also helps to keep your player running better and lasting longer by not getting clogged with dust, dirt, and yes...people's left over chicken grease! There is a firmware update for those of you who can no longer load your players. I received mine through Sony. This may be helpful to some, but on a side note: I've learned through years of technology purchases to never buy a new technology because it won't do what you will want it to do until a new device comes out later. Technology is being pushed out to the public before it is ready to be sold. That is why we have mistakenly purchased this player that's not capable of doing what other newer devices can do. And to make matters worse most of the sales agents are not aware of the features and specifications of the products they are selling to you. When I went to Best Buy to purchase this product last year and asked them if it played TrueHD they didn't even know what I was talking about, and then came back after their little huddle and said yes. (Which was just a guess) Oh, how I miss the days of The Good Guys store (superior technological advisors). Anywho... the smart companies out there will throw out a bad to fair product, knowing it will be consumed by us anyway because it's "new technology", then make a better product and sell it to the same consumers for more money. And naturally, we buy it again. The same thing is done in the dvd industry. It's called "Special Edition", "Limited Edition", "Ultimate Edition", "Final Cut", "Director's Edition", "Deluxe Edition", "Collector's Edition." The practice by these companies folks is known as Double Dipping. The only way to stop it is to stop consuming their products. And do yourselves all a favor by doing your own research before making a buy. Good luck.

I bought this several years ago when the HD/Blue Ray wars ended.
I purchased several Blue Ray discs and was content with the initial viewing. Although it was unconscionably slow in loading - or even opening the DVD tray - the viewing was crisp, clear and very exciting to watch.
Then I purchased something else - and it wouldn't play. I had to update the firmware. But as I live in a Mac-environment, the burning of the CD with the appropriate software was not easily accomplished. So I had to order the firmware (for free) which Sony delivered two weeks after ordering.
Then it happened again. And a third time. Every time I try to watch a new release (The Dark Knight, Quantum of Solace) I find myself in this loop of (1) needing new software, (2) ordering it and (3) waiting 2-3 weeks to watch the DVD that I purchased.
It's too bad that Sony has never heard of wireless connectivity that might allow for the player to be updated automatically. Or even asked if I ALWAYS wanted new firmware updates even without being asked.
This is nonsense. I have no idea whether they have improved their most recent releases, but I would be very wary of Sony Blue ray players.

Purchased 2, one for the bedroom and one for the family room. Starting time, loading times are unacceptable. Quality of the hd/bd is glossy without detail @1080P24fps. SD-DVD is poorly processed. Technology of this player will be supersede in all areas by many newer products for half the money. Save your money for another player. Brand name recognition is not what it used to be. This Sony BDP-S300 is not worthy of a full review. I spent $700.00 for two when they were introduced. I lot of hard earned money down the drain. Thanks Sony...................audiomeister
