Sony BDP-S1..."okay execute the command already"!!

Posted by blackpixels (A) on March 6, 2007 at 19:57:43

Just received my S1 today. What a beautiful piece of machinery (like I haven't seen one before right) took the time to hook up very good cables yada-yada, well, for now I only have the freebee disc that comes with it; Fifth Element (1:35 aspect ratio by the way), right, okay, so after the "90 second Initial setup" the expected wait time for setup as accompanied by a sheet of paper that says so, I was like okay. Then after trying to navigate around through the different set up menus, omg, heaven forbid you over press the Video Format button and have to WAIT for it to catch up or for that matter any of the Stop, Start, Pause, Chapter Search functions. Now, come on...aren't we in an age where technology should not have these issues...yes, I read the review articles for the Pioneer and the Sony, and the reviewer was a bit lenient on the two players having s-l-o-w response times, but you have to be kidding me...!! It was almost like the player was thinking "geez will this act infringe on copright laws, uh no, ok" or engineering was like "okay Jim, lets slap this baby together so we can meet the launch deadline (late anyway) and worry about the issues latter!" Anyway the picture is of course fantastic, clean, artifact free and a delight to watch until it froze up once (so far) I've never had a player that had those issues and read many post of folks who had. New thought, I thought all Blu-ray's and HD-DVD's were all to be anamorphic?? no? They should have followed superbit's lead with that...all I can say so far is that are lots of bugs to work out. IMHO - Lets see if the next one is more thought out.
