Product Description
With the preceding BDPS370 having swept the opposition away, there was very little Sony could do to improve upon it. The differences may be slight, but they have managed not just to retain the 370's excellence but also tweak the performance still further. As before, key to the BDPS380 is the option of connecting to the Internet wirelessly or via the traditional Ethernet cable. Simply add a wireless dongle and your BDPS380 can integrate with your home network to give you full access to the BBC iPlayer and BRAVIA Internet Video for access to online video content such as YouTube. With the BDPS380 there's more internet content than ever before. Also, with internet video varying so much in quality, the new Internet Video Enhancer is a really useful feature. As the name suggests, this improves the video quality of online content - the bigger your TV, the greater the improvement you'll notice. If you have an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or an Android powered smart phone then you can get even greater functionality out of the BDPS380. Use the screen as a remote control keypad or select information from the touch screen, such as YouTube videos, and stream them to your player. You can also find out more about your Blu-ray discs by searching the Entertainment Database Browser using Gracenote technology. Playback quality of all formats is every bit as good as you'd expect from a Sony with Sony's Precision Drive technology lending a hand to correct scratched or warped discs. As ever, the full 1080p output and HDMI interface give stunning levels of clarity and digital HD surround sound for an unparalleled cinema experience. Thanks to Sony's Xross Media Bar, using the BDP-S380 is easy. Already super-fast, the new model is now quicker than ever at loading and playback. BRAVIA Sync means that if you already have a Sony TV you can link to that for remote control integration.

5.0 out of 5 stars
More than a DVD player,
By
This review is from: Sony S380 Blu-ray Player - Instant Internet Video Playback, With Media Remote and USB (Electronics)
This is a great Blu-ray player which boots-up immediately, with no noticeable noise. But the thing that really sold this model to me was its additional features.First, this player gives you access to internet video, either via an ethernet cable or wireless dongle. Second, there is a USB port at the front which allows the user to plug in memory sticks or external hard drives to play AVI and some other video files. Here are the pros and cons of this model: PROS * Two USB ports * An ethernet port * Virtually instant start-up * Blu-ray picture * Access to internet video, including BBC iPlayer and YouTube * Very user-friendly interface and remote control CONS * Not every avi file is recognised by the player, but most are Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons and such a reasonable price, this is a bargain. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a home entertainment system as I liked the telly I already had, so this seemed like the best way to add new features and enhance my viewing. I'm very pleased with the result and now enjoy catching up with BBC programmes that I've missed. I'm also pleasantly surprised by the picture quality of the YouTube clips. One word of warning - you can only get a wireless internet connection if you buy a special Sony dongle, which costs almost half the price of the player. Unfortunately, some reviewers have commented that the signla strength isn't that great. However, there is a solution. I bought powerline ethernet adapter, which turns you home's electrical wiring system into an ethernet which can transmit 200mbps. The result has been fantastic. I can now watch high quality pictures with no danger of signal loss.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not bad, not great either.,
This review is from: Sony S380 Blu-ray Player - Instant Internet Video Playback, With Media Remote and USB (Electronics)
A blu-ray and DVD player of reasonable quality. No major complaints as such, but...1. All over the Internet, including the seller I purchased from, it's written that the DVD side is multi region. This was the main reason I bought it. It's not multi region. Not in the slightest. It requires hacking, like all the others. 2. If you want to use the Internet features, you either need to connect it to your router direct, or purchase a Sony wifi dongle which is half the price of the player. It won't work with any other wifi dongle. On the upside, it upscales to 1080p beautifully, works quickly and quietly in my experience. All in all, worth it if you're just after the basics.

Wow - first blu ray player and its fantastic !,
By
This review is from: Sony S380 Blu-ray Player - Instant Internet Video Playback, With Media Remote and USB (Electronics)
This is my first Blu ray player and I have to say it is fantastic, picture quality is absolutely stunning (better than what I was getting from Sky Movies HD on the same tv - Sony Bravia), sound quality is just out of this world .. try The Expendables (Blu Ray) on this player and you will know what I mean!One thing which nearly put me off from buying this player is all the ppl who complain about Sony players making a high-pitched noise.. I decided I should give it a try because I have always had Sony products and never been disappointed. Okay, at first when I played the blu ray -- I thought oh damn, I'm going to be returning this player as you guys are right there is a high pitched noise --- but it only seems to last about 30 seconds on my player while the disc is loading -- after that , its gone and it is silent ... so glad I went ahead with this player. Have now watched a couple of movies (Expendables and The Dark Knight) and all I can say is WOW! it really is a big step up from a DVD player. Don't let the negative reviewers put you off, this is one hell of a product at a damn good price... and there I was thinking of getting a Samsung for about the same price which incidentally I saw at a store today and the picture quality is nowhere near as good as this Sony blu ray player..
