  • Bullet-proof , Class-leading audio , Impressive video detail and colour reproduction
  • Lack of network or USB playback , PS3 matches it for video performance
  • The Sony BDP-S5000ES is a premium Blu-ray player, which features impressive build quality and audio performance, but if video is what you crave there are cheaper options....

  • Excellent Blu-ray image quality, quiet operation, ready for rack setup, very good DVD upscaling, 7.1-channel analog output
  • Very expensive, large and heavy
  • The Sony BDP-S5000ES is a quiet and fully featured Blu-ray player that has excellent picture quality and the ports needed for an A/V rack setup. Unfortunately this isn’t enough to justify the very high price tag. ...

  • The Sony BDP-S5000ES Blu-ray disc player has just enough features to get any Blu-ray collector excited, but the performance and image quality clearly makes it one of the best players out there that come with the RS-232C input. It successfully combines ...

  • Great audio and video playback for your Blu-ray movies and the 5 year parts and labor warranty make the S5000ES an attractive player for the home theater, though the value for money is somewhat lacking given you can achieve relatively identical perform...

  • Abstract:  The Sony BDP-S 5000 ES is a high-end Blu-ray player, available since summer 2008. Not only the looks make a big impression - rivaling the bulky dimensions, the price tag of 1,200 GBP will have many buyers thinking twice. Excellent HDTV, with 24p s...

  • I’m a bit on the fence when it comes to Sony’s new flagship design. The build quality is impeccable, and the player does a superb job with DVD and Blu-ray playback at 1080p/24. With full interactivity and advanced audio covered, this is a play...

  • The idea that a cheapie Blu-ray player can be the source of your top-performing theater is a flawed concept. The same factors that make your audiophile CD player sound better than the $200 store-bought one apply to Blu-ray as much as they did to top-pe...
