Got this unit as a replacement for the Pioneer BDP-3120 (which I returned to SM because it was region-locked for DVDs).
Basically, it's the same as the BDP-3120 except for:
1. 3D capability;
2. Karaoke function; and
3. Price - it's more expensive by Php 1,000 because of #1 and 2 above.
Here are my thoughts on this player:
Pros:
1. Small and compact;
2. Seems to read/load my blu rays faster than the PS3;
3. As with any Pioneer, can play just about anything (CDs, CD-Rs, DVDs, Bluray);
4. No region lock for DVDs; and
5. Comes with a free HDMI (1.4).
Cons:
1. The LCD display is horrible - it's too small (can't even show the track number, if playing a CD), it's green, and my previous 2010 Pioneer's display is way, way better. It's like circa 2000, Nokia 5110 era;
2. Because of #1, it feels cheap;
3. The remote is bad - the keys are too small and cramped.
Buy or Don't Buy? Don't Buy, if you're picky about how your players look. This one is small, too light, poor display. It looks and feels cheap.
Buy, if the overall look of the player is not a concern
