We've only had the player a short time but so far were really enjoying it. The blu-ray discs display unequalled clarity and color. Even the standard discs provide a beautiful picture. Were very happy with our purchase.

My Sony BDP-S580 is a very pleasurable unit which provides crystal clear movie watching. It is a snap to set up on the internet and supplies an abundance of video and audio sources- some free. I now plan to get a 3D TV monitor to take advantage of that fun asset. I am definitely FIVE STAR gratified.

This product seemed like the perfect match for my 55 sony flat screen led lcd. I was right. Not only does it perform well but was very easy to set up. I dont use the streaming video because my tv does it already. Thanks for the good product and the fast shipping.

Easy set up.
Navigation menu is typical of Sony - just like a PlayStation 3.
Expect some boot up lag, both with Blu Rays and internet. I think this is typical of the product class and my unit performs about the same.
Ive been contemplating ditching cable and subscribing exclusively to Netflix and Hulu. After the NFL season is over, I will cut the cable ties.
Simple, straight forward remote. Has a dedicated Netflix button, which is good for me.

Purchased as gift for my parents. Shipping and receiving was fine. I have not personally used the Bluray so cannot thoroughly comment on its performance, but it is reportedly working great. No regrets with purchase.

I have been very pleased with my Sony Blu-ray player. It opens up a lot of avenues to get new content, including Netflix, Hulu, and Sonys channel. The video is very sharp. I was very pleased with the service i received from Vanns - the item was as advertised, and arrived ahead of schedule no hassle. A superior shopping performance!

Ii was able to open the box and very soon have it hooked up to my TV and linked up to my home WiFi system. I was amazed at all the possibilities. The picture was excellent. I was disappointed that the instructions had nothing to say about configuring the remote to control my TV. I watched a blue ray disc of Avitar and thought that the graphics were tremendous. One fault I found with the S580 was that the sound needs to be set to almost twice the volume as it does for the watching TV. But there is plenty of sound available.

i got this blu-ray player at a great price thanks to vanns.com and the shipping was literally lightning fast. it is was extremely well packaged. the product itself is excellent, i dont have cable, no use spending hundreds of dollars if you have an internet connection. i stream netflix, hulu and youtube. i downloaded the sony media remote app on my iphone which makes the process of searching for videos very easy! the picture streaming is amazing and i am finally making full use of my huge hd tv! Thank you vanns.com!!!

I just purchased a 65 838 Mitsubishi DLP TV from Vanns - saved more than $400 over other retailers - and needed a solid 3D Blu-Ray player to complete the set-up. After much online review I picked the Sony BDP-S580 as a middle-upper purchase - again at a fantastic discount from Vanns. The player and TV work great together! Beautiful picture, very easy set-up, and many features such as built in wireless, WiFi certified - b,g,n - which immediately recognized my home network, on-screen icons for Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and others for easy internet streaming, and a mobile app allowing my iphone to act as a remote and keyboard for online browsing and updating FaceBook. This player supports Blu Ray 3D with a full 1080p, and enhances playback on my regular DVDs. As an added bonus, popping a movie into the player automatically turns on the BRP and the TV, one of the many built-in features that automatically works, and a single easy-learn remote control operates both flawlessly. If youre looking for a better than average Blu Ray player for a decent price, I highly recommend this one.

Fist let me say .. I am very pleased with Vanns and their CS staff.. . This is my second Blu Ray from you.. the first was a Panasonic which was defective and junk.. I returned it .. no issues got a refund.and free return shipping very fast and good service. . Bought this Sony... It has performed well. The wifi is not exceptional.... as I am only 50 feet form my n router and the signal is still only 40 percent..I have a RoKu and it gets 70 percent signal and is farther away than the Sony.. Tired of tinkering with the 580...I am living with the poor signal quality.. The player itself..is exceptional.. I have two other 3D Sony Blu ray players.. with my three systems....I connected the 580 to my 82 inch Mitsu 3D DLP... picture is stunning... Menu on the 580 is still the hard to use old Sony type and the single coaxial Dolby connection is a real downer. and the NetFlix screen is a disaster.... But...All things considered.. it is good player for the $$$.
I am a fan of Sony Blu ray.. May upgrade to a 780... soon .. reviews say it has a better wifi... then I have a spare Sony Blu ray player..

Performance of this player is top shelf for the price. I have owned much more expensive dvd players that actually do not work as well.
It is an excellant value for the money.The only critique is I wish it had 2 HDMI outputs.

the sony blu ray was advertised as having everything needed to install and view and it did - took me awhile to figure out how to install it and the instructions on how to change the key pad that you use to enter the wireless code was not helpful to go from capital to small case letters - a call to tech support straightened that out quickly.It works well and ive got no complaints at all.

I made an original purchase of a samsung blu ray player from best buy and was not pleased at all. Its load time was unbelievably slow and nothing about it stood out to make it a good player. I returned it and started to look for other players from other companies as well. Being a proud previous buyer from Vanns made me come back to do find one from them. When I saw the great deals on a sony players and read great reviews from them I decided to give one a shot. I ordered this model and was very pleased with everything about it. It started up in less than 3 seconds and had exceptional sound and image quality for the price. On a grand scale of blu ray players I would give image quality a 8 and sound an 7.8. Having the right TV, Sound System, and connections can make all the difference as well. Overall I am very pleased with this product.
