We like:
Picture; sound; styling; performance; menu system; low price
We don't like:
Could be cheaper still; no 7.1 audio outputs or DTS-HD MA decode
CNET UK judgement:
Finally, a Blu-ray player from Sony for everyone to get excited about. This player is relatively quick to load discs, picture performance is superb, and its wonderful menu system and speed at dealing with interactive features make it well worth its bargain price. It's just a shame it took Sony so long to get this player on the market

Pioneer LX01BD
Top-notch picture and sound quality make this a system to lust after. The only real catch is the price
