Have to slightly disagree. I have the same model, bought it for $99 at Tiger Direct before Christmas, so we've had it awhile now. Mine's performed flawlessly with every DVD/Blu-Ray disc we've put into it, and the NetFlix option works well also. The menu's are a little slow, but it's not terrible.
By the way, the Wi-Fi works fine, but you'll get less streaming interruptions running a CAT-5 to your router. I haven't experienced a single streaming interruption since I did that.
I've also really liked the fact that I could connect it directly to my Stereo Amplifier and use the 7.1 surround well with this player. Pandora is good on it too!
