Works fine for the hard drive, but Netflix can be touch and go after a few hours of watching.

After bringing home the Blu ray player I pretty much used it for watching Netflix and some shows off of a hard drive.

(blue ray files) from a hard drive or USB storage-

This player does not have a hard drive, but I feel a 1gig to 8gig jump drive in the back would more than make up for it

You will need a thumb drive or external hard drive to get the BD-Live feature to work.

so I assume it also works easily with the 6500.- I connected an external USB hard drive and thought the personal pictures & home videos (and downloaded internet videos) looked great

I have several of my favorite movies I stored on an external hard drive, and I can just plug that in to this Blu-ray player and watch them straight off my hard drive!

We tried two other, much more expensive, 3-D/Bluray players that gave us a lot of trouble.

I think they look better on my TV than on my computer (probably due to some up-scaling?)- For reference, the Blu-Ray connects directly to a Samsung 46" LED UND46D6400 TV (also 3-D capable) via HDMI

So I responded only to eliminate further E-Mails SORRY!!!
