Pre-installed apps, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Instant Video, stream the latest movies and original series, while PlayStation Now lets you stream PS3 games to your TV without a console (controller required, not included). Entertainment on DemandĮither via WiFi or wired ethernet, these Blu-ray players connect to the internet and its vast libraries of movies, TV shows, and games. These Blu-ray players do much more than just play your library of Blu-rays and DVDs-internet connectivity lets them stream movies and TV shows via pre-installed apps and play games via Sony’s PlayStation Now game-streaming service. Sony Blu-ray Players with Streaming Apps (Refurbished) I'd also like it to have as many format bells & whistles as possible, like Dolby Vision, HDR10+ (if that's even a thing on players yet), and preferably support for 3D Blu-rays (although I think that might be kind of standard these days, and yes I still have some of those).Product Details Any price comparison is to a new, nonrefurbished product price. UHD players are still kind of pricy, I've noticed. That being said, I would rather get it at Best Buy than having to order online. So, I'm on the lookout for a new player, apparently, and I'm taking suggestions this time rather than just plucking one off the shelf at Best Buy.

So apparently my UHD player has issues with discs that have what are probably very minor and otherwise normal manufacturing defects that the players are supposed to be able to work through, it just. They can make it right through the trouble spots with not even the tiniest hiccup. Long story short, they all play perfectly fine in the PS5. Yesterday it occurred to me that I can run the discs through my PS5 to see if it's actually the discs or if it's the player. It glitched out a second time and I just turned it off, I was getting kind of pissed. I've had problems with specific 4K discs for a while now, where they glitch or just freeze at certain points of the film, sometimes so badly that the whole player is hardlocked and I have to unplug it from the wall to reset it, which happened last night with Ghostbusters. They stopped updating it a while ago, and it got left behind when things like Dolby Vision were being added to all their other players through updates.

The one I have now is a Sony UBP-X800, a pretty early model.
