I ordered that exact one on Saturday, also from Amazon. Brilliant price for the features - it was winning value for money awards when it was selling for £250, so £160 is a bargain. It's due to be delivered on Wednesday, so I'll let you know if it's any good!

I've got this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-BDPS370...4088678&sr=8-1

Cant recommend it highly enough! Amazing picture and sound, has BBC iPlayer and Lovefilm etc. built into it, and it will also stream media from your PC over your home network. But best of all its £99! No brainer really.

Tesco are doing this for £99, very tempted and it gets fantastic reviews.

Can't see any difference myself. I have the tvs too so both hook up via link and both work great and the pq is stunning on both.

The sony is a bit noisier which is a common complaint of the model i have but I reckon they probably fixed that.

Went made today and bought 3 new led back light a pair off 42" Panasonics and a 19" panasonic led for the kitchen .....

What i need to know is about this Panasonic Digital Living Network Alliance DLNA that can send recorded material wireless to the other compatible devices in the home hence buying 3 new led tvs ...

What Panasonic BR HDD do i buy ??? is it like a sky plus box that has the advantage off sending the recorded material to another TV without wires

Looks bloody impressive !

What do you guys know ?

Cheers guys

, had a look on one of them which lead me on to the Sony Centre, they have the newer S373 for an extra £30...seems to get better reviews. May pop over and get that one today.

daveyM3 · 01-04-2011, 08:32 AM

As far as I know the only difference between the two is the 373 has a backlit remote control. Is that really worth £30?

It gives more options on the spec on the web site, if thats the only difference, then no it aint worth £30 buddy. I am gonna go double check that out.

Walesy · 01-04-2011, 08:39 AM

Actually, you might be right, just looked at another site

Walesy · 01-04-2011, 01:33 PM

Just bought the s370 from tesco and a cheap bluray disc to see how it performs, I am over the moon with it, the picture quality for BR is outstanding, you can even see the hair on the womans nipples and upscaling is way better than the last Toshiba upscaler I had. Well worth the £99 and recommended.

Cheers for your help and advice guys!!

daveyM3 · 01-04-2011, 02:51 PM

Good man! Get it wired up to the net and you can watch BBC HD thorugh the iPlayer, Five on demand etc etc.

P.S. a woman with hairy nipples?? What the hell was the blu ray you bought??

Aye am gonna get it hooked up laters, my new TV has all that and it's amazing!

The woman with Hairy nipples was in Braveheart, the bit after the wedding when he pumps her. Her left nipple has hair on it!

Nah not her, the one at the start of the film who gets her throat cut.
Them French birds dont know what a razor is, hairy pits, hairy chins and a vagina like a packet of Golden Virginia.

Shame you cannot upgrade the software easily.
Especially in the BR boxes and traditionally Sony have been the worst for this with AV stuff.

The PS3 on the other hand ...

daveyM3 · 01-06-2011, 04:53 AM

Software can be updated just as easily on the S370 as the PS3 (I have both).

seanblee · 01-06-2011, 05:55 AM

Sounds like you're sorted, but still, I got my S570 yesterday and it's superb. Now I'm trying to work out how to get my home OpenSolaris file server to work as a UPnP/DLNA server so I can watch my film and TV collections through it...
