    Sony BDPS6500 3D 4K Upscaling Blu-ray Player with Wi-Fi (2015 Model)

    • Great streaming speed.
    • Great for a DVD/BD player, but the streaming is jumpy, forget about the screen mirroring and the web browser is a joke
    • The streaming of Netflix was great on day one, since it does not work well.
    • I had hoped it would replace our Roku completely, but even though this unit has a good range of popular streaming options, it doesn't offer all the channels that Roku does (e.g. PBS channel, which I watch a lot).Of course, it's cheap,
    • i love it, great picture, great streaming, easy to install ( I am not an electronic geek )
    • It's also a great streaming device
    • PLEASE do not purchase before reading reviews of SONY Blu-ray players having issues streaming Netflix AND Hulu on Sony's community site
    • Netflix starts up just fine and streams great
    • Good streaming capability.
    • Good streaming capability.
    • Although the DVD player works great and movie images are so much more vivid, I almost returned this item because the streaming is not user friendly at all
    • Really good streaming and DVD playback is flawless.
    • After one month started having some issues when streaming
    • For the most part though the apps work and stream very well
    • The addition of the three most popular streaming services meant I did not have to buy another streaming device
    • The streaming of Netflix was great on day one, since it does not work well.
    • (One good thing is that the unit remembers my login info for streaming services like Netflix, so I don't have to type it all in every time.
    • I was hoping for a great image quality, but everything from Blu-ray to terrible streaming is what it does.
    • FrequentI resetting required (unplug for a while then plug back in) to get reliable streaming, and this doesn't always work
    • Not use streaming (like NetFlix), not use wi-fi, so don't know how it works
    • Discs work fine but no streaming from any app
    • Bought mine at BB and it's going back due to poor streaming performance on Amazon Instant Videos.
    • Clear picture, fairly quick streaming, sensitive wifi reception, good communication with my other home entertainment components, lots of apps and features.
    • Unreliable streaming over wifi.
    • But it has all my favorite main stream popular apps
    • The streaming is terrible because the machine can't hold an internet connection
    • It takes forever to start up and let you get into a streaming service like Amazon
    • I selected the 6500 over the other versions with the hope that its dual processor stood the best hope that it could provide robust streaming and fast responsiveness
    • All of the games that I played streamed like a charm with 1080p graphics and what appeared to me to be full surround sound
    • Plays disc's great, but the streaming?
    • plays movies perfectly but streaming has issues
    • smooth streaming, then -
    • Strangely enough, the exact same files are on a home media server and play fine while streaming (More on that later)
    • The Netflix app has the best quality stream I have seen
    • And the Roku 3 is a better streaming player
    • Once connected, however, the streaming has been smooth (so far), which is on par with our xBox One or VieraCast experience via our wi-fi
    • I wanted to like this player: it loads quickly, has great streaming (we use Netflix), and is easy to use
    • But BD-R and DVD-R work fine
    • Its compatible alright, but so slow as the be unusable
    • Two weeks out of warranty, it burned up, or as good as.
    • Now, on to more important issues for this new S6500: performance is very high for Blu-Ray (regular and 3D), for older DVDs as well as for streaming (Amazon Prime)
    • Its fast, it works as it should, doesn't freeze up, my wife loves how easy to operate it is and the netflix button is a great option, we are very pleased
