Sony BDP-S185 review

[Clare Newsome]

18/10/2011 UPDATE - Sony BDP-S185 review is now online here

Original post:

Just to confirm that our test of the small, bargain Sony BDP-S185 Blu-ray player will be online here next week.

It's up and running in our test rooms, and we'll be comparing it with its big-brother Sony BDP-S380 plus Panasonic's entry player, the DMP-110.

I'll link to the review here once it's online.

Hey Clare,

I already got mine today for £90 from my local sony dealer, and have been pleased with it so far. (Hope your team like it as well)

Cheers

Hi,

Have you managed to complete the s185 review and will it be posted this week? I have a purchasing decision to make this weekend and would love your guidance

Regards,

Richard.

Apologies, but a few unforeseen absences this week has meant the review is yet to be completed. We can say it's looking very good so far - it's certainly an impressive little player - but our more detailed opinion (including S380 comparison) will need to wait until next week. Sorry!

Thanks for the update. I'll check back in the coming week.

Any news as to when is the review coming?

All the reviewers are up to their eye-balls in top-secret awards copy at the moment, so apologies for the delay but we'll have a review online in the early part of next week!

Hi! The week has gone past. :wave:

Have you dropt this project? The week is gone by miles...

Have been waiting for it every day in one week now.

 

[Clare Newsome]

We certainly haven't dropped it - but what with it being Awards time, we've had more pressing priorities. Apologies again - I will remind team tomorrow...

saw the player in currys / pc world today for £139 almost laughed out loud to customer service guy standing 2 feet away from me

Why not just get a Sony BDP-S380 for £99.97 in Tesco?

[Edit. Scrub that. The S380 is discontinued according to the link above. That was quick!]

Play.com has the Sony BDP-S185 for £79.95:

Review imminent, I am promised.

And no, the S380 isn't discontinued, according to Sony....

Yes. Sorry. I should have said Tesco had discontinued the product and not Sony.

I said "that was quick" because JD only posted the Tesco BDP-S380 link 8 days ago.

I might buy one or two of these BDP-S185s for our daughters. Then I can start buying more Blu-ray discs. (We all borrow discs from each other and - because they only have DVD players - that has kept me from buying more than just a few movies on Blu-ray.)

So now I am interested in the BDP-S185 review too. (Our last two TVs and last DVD recorder and BD player were all bought on the strength of WHF 5 star reviews/awards and have all lived up to them.)

 

[bigboss]

Any chance of the review appearing this week? It's been over a month now since it was promised. :wave:

 

[Clare Newsome]

It'll be later today...

Apologies again for the delay, but a rush of last-minute contenders for Awards kept the test team way too busy to do anything as prosaic as writing!

 

[bigboss]

Thanks! Sometimes I envy your job....... & sometimes I don't!!!

 

[Clare Newsome]

OK, i've just seen the review - it exists!

Will upload, with pic, first thing tomorrow.

Excellent review! I can see how the S380 also has a place in the line up. Now we just have to wait till Christmas for the player to hit that sweet £49 spot! :cheer:

Just checked Tesco web site, says 'Temporarily out of stock' not discontinued and still quoting £99.97

It's still on the Tesco web site, just says 'temporarily out of stock' not discontinued and still quoting £99.97

Although Sevenoaks have it for £99
