Just bought it on a clearance sale for $268.00 CDN (or US at todays rate of exchange). Very happy with the picture on my ancient 1080i RPTV. Audio approaches DVD-A/SACD quality on many Blu-Ray discs I've tried so far. Bass management is great on most DVD & Blu-Ray titiles but certain ones lack the proper bass output and I need to crank the level on the sub amp.

Onscreen menu very easy to navigate. Can't wait to one day get a proper 1080p projector and see what this thing can do on a 100" widescreen!

Wanted the OPPO OP-83 Blu-Ray and already own a Pioneer DV-578A-S so the Sony BDP-S550 Blu-Ray Disc Player was a good compromise in my mind.

I give it 4.5 starts overall. The bass management is where it loses the half star. Sony, can we get a patch for this?
