Purchased this for some of the features as much as the Blu-Ray. Works awesome, sleek look, love the setup and ease of use. Because of this device I will probably be canceling my cable subscription. It works with Netflix, Youtube, Clicker (minor) and many more. In the fall (today is 09/06/10) Hulu Plus will work with it and I'm guessing when Google TV becomes available it will also work with it. You get notifications for software updates if you're connected online with the device and they're a breeze to complete.
Out of the box was easy to setup and use. I bought a HDMI cable to go with it for about $9, I was watching a Netflix instant download movie within 20 minutes of opening the box. The picture quality is amazing compared to my old DVD/VHS combo and even the DVDs I have look better on it, which I believe is due to an up-converting feature.
I have a Sony TV as well and when the Blu-Ray player is turned on it will automatically turn the TV on and select the correct input device on the TV for usage. The load times can be slow sometimes when turning on, putting in discs or connecting to services like Netflix. This can be mostly avoided by selecting one of the options that enables a quick-on feature.
All-in-all, great purchase, totally worth the price under $200.
As a side note, the PlayStation/Xbox option is tempting but then you get drawn into much more than just the purchase of the unit, as I know a couple people who went that route but are enjoying the gaming aspect as well(just with lighter wallets).
