4.0 out of 5 stars NSZ-GT1 Not as bad as some would have you believe, April 11, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Sony NSZ-GT1 Wi-Fi-Enabled 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player Featuring Google TV (Electronics)
I don't normally write reviews for products. However, in the case of the Sony NSZ-GT1 GoogleTV Blu Ray player, I decided to do so. The many one-star, bad reviews for this device almost convinced me to not buy it in favor of the Logitech REVUE which I would have purchased instead. I saw the GT1 at Best Buy but bought it from Amazon because of a better price. At my local Best Buy, no one knew how to make the device on display work. That too almost changed my mind. I went to another bigger Best Buy across town where they had a working GT1 which the sales guy demonstrated and then let me play.
So, to the review. The Geek Squad guy came and installed it along with a new Yamaha receiver and 55" Sony TV. I already had a home theater set u- from when we built our house so the Geek guy was just replacing old equipment. While this is not a review of the Geek Squad, the guy did do an excellent job and gave my wife and I instruction on how to use all the new devices. When he left we stumbled... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I am in love!!!!, March 23, 2011

Kelly Jordan "Midwest Mom" (Rogers, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony NSZ-GT1 Wi-Fi-Enabled 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player Featuring Google TV (Electronics)
Wow, I was so surprised to see the 6 negative reviews of this product. Seems like they focused on one negative topic and just got stuck on that without really looking at what this product CAN do. So I will give you all MY pros and cons, then you can decide what is right for you.

First of all, I went to purchase a Blu-ray player with wireless internet. Why? I wanted to get Netflix in my bedroom and I wanted to be able to play DVDs too. I knew I was looking at spending around $200.

I walked by this in the store and gave it a whirl and was already impressed. The menus are not confusing if you have a smart phone with apps. It is pretty much set up like that. Even the keyboard is reminds me of my android cell phone. Then I found out it wasn't that much more money for this than a decent internet blu-ray.

I bought it and took it home. I wanted to wait for my hubby to come home and hook it up, but I was too excited so I gave it a go. I followed the... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product - I'm skeptical of the negative reviews, September 25, 2011
By 
This review is from: Sony NSZ-GT1 Wi-Fi-Enabled 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player Featuring Google TV (Electronics)
I researched a number of Blue-Ray devices and narrowed my search to the Sony NSZ-GT1. I purchased mine just over a week ago and I have no regrets whatsoever. Prior to purchasing it, I read some of the negative reviews here on Amazon and trade websites such as CNET, etc. I typically don't give CNET a lot of praise for their technical reviews as I often find them to be inaccurate. I suggest reading the negative reviews with skepticism as there is always the possibility of someone simply grinding an axe - or in the case of sites like CNET, brand bias. With that said, and without further delay, on with my review ...

First, this device is primarily designed to play Blue-Ray DVDs. Second, it is also designed to utilize Wi-Fi (or LAN) to access the internet and display it on your TV much like a PC. It does both reliably.

SETUP: Easy. You must have a TV that accepts HDMI connections. If not, you cannot use this device. I have DIRECTV (and obviously the required receiver... Read more
