    What's the BDP-S185? The cheapest player listed on Sony's Australian website is the BDP-S380.

  • paulj13 on 10/01/2012 - 07:12

    Seems it can be region hacked as well! http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/sony-bdp-s185/11633 which drives you to this one http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks?dvdplayer=Sony+BDP-S480&hi…

  • kumart75 on 10/01/2012 - 08:14

    Wow thats cheap. I just looked at the specs and this Bluray player does play mkv files as well. A quick search on the net, the Star wars bluray trilogy is selling for $50, so you get the bluray player for $50. That's a very good purchase to me. Hopefully I remember to get this on the 12th.

      You can use the reminder feature "Add Reminder" which will list out all the reminder deals on the home page for you.

      I do agree that it's quite a nice deal with Star Wars trilogy thrown in. The better trilogy as well not the crappy prequel.

      • kumart75 on 11/01/2012 - 15:32

        Thanks, I tried to click on the Add Reminder but it doesnt give me the option to select the 12th.

        • scotty on 11/01/2012 - 16:44

          Yeah because deals on OzBargain does not yet have a field for starting date so all the available reminder dates are based on expiry date and current date. You might want to add a closest date.

  • g12345567 on 10/01/2012 - 09:31

    Also no HDMI cable included. Not sure if Big W will include one? Assume that the Australian model will stream all online services, same as BDP-s380. The bdp-s185 also being an internet TV player.

    Strange that Sony Australia does not list this model, although they do provide firmware updates for it.

  • flumpf on 10/01/2012 - 10:29

    The region free hack appears to be just for DVD playback, not Blu-ray. :(

    • paulj13 on 10/01/2012 - 10:56

      no this page http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/sony-bdp-s185/11633 states that the BDP-S480 DVD hack works on the bdp-s185. videohelp is fairly good at keeping their lists up to date. Besides for the price I would be happy even without a region hack as I get most of my BR's from the UK anyway.

      • caprimulgus on 10/01/2012 - 11:42

        says it WORKS, but doesn't state WHAT it works for.

        the other hack appears to be for regioan free DVD payback (NOT blu-ray), so one would assume the same would apply for this model.

      • Blackrose on 10/01/2012 - 19:47

        I believe the region hack is for DVD only, I don't think it makes this player zone free for Blu-ray.

        • nkbswe5 on 11/01/2012 - 12:51

          So do we need this 'OneForAll' remote to make it DVD region free? If so, I guess there's no point for me, since I don't have one…

        • Blackrose on 11/01/2012 - 19:24

          If it's not region free out of the box yeah then the 'OneForAll' remote is needed to unlock afaik.

          Am not sure if this one is region free or locked for DVD out of the box, would need someone to confirm either.

  • StevieRay on 10/01/2012 - 10:34

    Does anyone know what type of port the single rear digital output is?

    [Edit: It's Coaxial. http://www.whathifi.com/review/sony-bdp-s185/specs]

    • Noobist45 on 10/01/2012 - 18:56

      CRAP - I need optical out ! ! ! !

      • Noobist45 on 10/01/2012 - 19:41

        CRAP AGAIN - I need 3D. But i discovered i can do without the optical. Got digital coax connection.

        Whats the cheapest, decent 3D BluRay Player ?

  • squaredonut on 10/01/2012 - 10:53

    Damn, if only it played RMVB :(

    wow, plus 1 for having the original trilogy included, might pick 1 up for the spare room & offload the trilogy as a late chrissie pressie :)

    • greenlantern on 10/01/2012 - 12:21

      … and I get to play that awesome Oscar nominated film currently on special http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/61329 "Maid in Manhattan".

      • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2012 - 20:14

        Why is everyone recommending this movie? Its shit and IMDB agrees with 4.7/10
        must surely be an inside joke im not a part of.

        • bNiNja on 12/01/2012 - 18:47

          I think someone needs their sarcasm detector recalibrated. As easy on the eyes as she may be, Jennifer Lopez is notorious for starring in crap films.

  • jhova on 10/01/2012 - 12:21

    DLNA streaming or WIFI?

    i might swap my philips then http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/60493

  • DEvok on 10/01/2012 - 19:22

    can this player play uk bluray disks? and also is the player alot better than the soniq player? because i need a 2nd player as a gift, cheers.

    • Blackrose on 10/01/2012 - 19:49
      +1

      Yep it will play UK Blu-ray discs fine as they are zone B for Blu-ray, the same as us in Australia.
      And yes it is a better quality player the the Soniq.

    • mikljon on 10/01/2012 - 22:46

      UK and Aussie are same region :)
      i got heaps of UK Blurays from amazondotuk

    This is the FIRST standalone Blu-Ray player Sony released on the market - the reviews are all dated around 2007. Given that Kogan will sell you a 1080p Blu-Ray player with Wi-Fi and USB in for and extra $40, I don't think this one bears a look.

    • g12345567 on 10/01/2012 - 21:42

      No idea where you got this information from. The first Sony blu-ray player released was model BDP-S1 in December 2006.

      The BDP-s185 was released mid 2011. So is much newer and considered a great budget blu-ray player for those who don't need all the features of the higher end models.

      Compared to the more expensive Sony BDP model. The S185 does not have a front panel display. Other features missing that are more significant than the display included DLNA support, 3D playback, WI-FI options and SACD playback support.

  • DEvok on 10/01/2012 - 22:02

    as in quality for this sony bluray player how is it better than the Soniq player?

    • kumart75 on 11/01/2012 - 09:53
      -1

      Soniq is a no brand name, there is no comparison between that and Sony. It's a no brainer.

    • laridae on 14/01/2012 - 11:30

      It does! (got one…)

  • auna on 13/01/2012 - 03:06

    While it's a great deal, I can only scratch my head at the lack of response for a IMO better deal from Myer that has since expired -
    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/59622

    That model had Allshare, which is insanely usefull. 9 movies that I actually wanted, and a Blu-ray player for $129.95. /sighs

    • caprimulgus on 13/01/2012 - 12:03

      no offence, but there was only 1 movie out of 9 (2 at a stretch) that i would actually want, which i have already. and allshare is not that "insanely" useful to me, as i don't run a desktop computer or NAS, and instead play everything off a WDTV Live.

  • DEvok on 13/01/2012 - 04:28

    is this the whole 9 diskset movie trilogy?

  • timmy_tam on 13/01/2012 - 10:13
