Thank you Oh thank you for not using separate posts for each item like some peeps do (know what I mean)

That's annoying. Amazon will give you a partial refund if you don't want to return it and the wasp. Maybe this is the perfect opportunity to buy a Logitech universal remote control from the Warehouse like I did! :stuck_out_tongue:

My Sony arrived today,as described (very good-packaging damaged) BUT included 2 extras,a dead wasp and what looks like a plant seed,and excluded something quite important THE REMOTE CONTROL !!

Good to see the QA @ Amazon is up to scratch.

Synology NAS all the way :smiley:

I only went and bought it.
Now I need a massive Samsung 4k tv

My Xbox one is silent, it's got a huge slow spinning fan

Heat heat heat. Amazingly nearly 24 hours on there are still a few Sony S7200s available at £72-odd. I've avoided the "used-good" one with a scratch in every area but that's about £64 if someone fancies it! I know they're only clearing stock for this year's range but these are good deals. I know hit and miss with Warehouse but nothing lost if I have to return it.

the discount code isn't working for me I'm after the 'panasonic' blu-ray

What's the warranty on these?

umm you said USB playback :smile: anyhoo.... collectors don't want a small pile of hard drives to look at lol and us modern peeps use our fibre connections...local storage is old school :man:

Usb sticks lol? Its hdds these days bro

People still love to own a physical item though, a disc, a record, a DVD..... a small stack of USB sticks just isn't the same :smile:

Really? you can get blu ray players from about £40, that's not much more than a DVD player which in turn isn't much more (or any more) than a CD player. I think it remarkable you can get a half decent high definition player for under £100 let alone under £50 - technology really is incredibly cheap when you look back at how the price keeps falling and the features keep increasing.

Blueray is a thing of the past... people moaning about noise too is why they are now obsolete!

Usb playback is silent and every movie is stored in one place, no clutter no damaged discs ect 100000000 times better way to watch movies.

​sorry I meant which one?

Upscaling to 4k seems very dubious - I doubt there will be much improvement - following article is quite insightful;

​thanks for the info, appreciated :smile:

​why one?

​any suggestions pls?

what is Blu Ray? is it a kind of physical torrent player?

Not if you have a child and/or a life outside of video games...:stuck_out_tongue:

the wife says no

I wondered this when he posted, so I did a quick search and lots of forums suggest leaving the upscaling to a TV, therefore rendering the 4k upscaling Blu-ray player a bit pointless. Having said that, the BDP-S7200 is still a very good choice IMO.

Interesting; any test results out there you can point to that backups up a 4k TV will scale better than a 4k upscale blu-ray player?

​You've bought a 4k telly and want to buy a blu ray player? The tv will upscale to 4k better than the player will . YOU do realise it's not an actual 4k player?

can u recommend one

I know it's down to personal experience but I've bought my share of Amazon warehouse items and the majority have been like new or as good as I expected...as long as you buy knowing you MIGHT end up returning it then where's the problem? If you'd rather pay full price and be sure of a brand new item that's your prerogative.

Looks a good price

I'm not so sure they are used. I have bought stuff that says used before and it has always been brand new

Yeah, problem is, I don't know a truly discounted model from one with a pretend discount.
However I have been doing my homework and settled on this one

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-HT-H5530-Home-Audio-System/dp/B00JZRH43A/ref=sr_1_7?m=A2OAJ7377F756P&s=warehouse-deals&ie=UTF8&qid=1463147721&sr=1-7

What do you think?
What does anybody think?

still expensive for used imo. blu ray players never seem to come down in price

The time it took you to type that you could have clicked on the link and had a look yourself
Here

Does seem a bit of a lottery but plenty of HUKDs members seem to get almost new product. I must have been unlucky as both items I've ordered from Amazon warehouse have looked like they had been found in a skip.

My old bluray player won't play xmen days of future past because of Sony security measures on disc so I'm looking for a new one.

Must be multiregion hackable though - any recommendations

I've bought several Amazon Warehouse items in the past and I've mainly had good experiences. I will continue to order from them many times in the future I would imagine. I am probably in the majority here too.

hot

And a lot of damaged customers.

Can't believe all these sloppy seconds are going hot. It's basically like a used goods lottery. Why not just get down the car boot sale. I mean at least you can actually SEE what you're buying. Yes yes "oh I can just return it if I'm not satisfied". What fun it must be getting some messed up second hand player, all ready to watch your favourite films on, only to find it's cracked or whatever, having to box it all up, go down the Post Office, send it back off, wait for another one to turn up, possibly have the same problem again. These days decent branded blu-ray players really aren't much more than the 3 prices listed here for brand new - as has been proved many times on this site. And that's always the sensible option.

That's an expensive blu-ray player!

I have a Sony 4K TV but didn't upgrade to a 4K upscaling Blu-Ray player as I thought the TV already upscales.
Is it better buying a separate device to upscale, or does the TV do a good enough job?

Yep, my blu ray player doesn't support iPlayer anymore since the new version came out

Those apps won't be supported forever so if anything they're less future proof.

I've only ever owned 2 bluray players, but my current is the Sony BDPS1200, which I've not noticed being particular noisy. you occasionally hear it reading the disc, but not constantly. I'm happy with it, but I dare say there are quieter players out there.

Certainly
I am after a home cinema at a bargain price that is DVD and maybe three or five speakers.
Would prefer Samsung because my TV is Samsung but happy to consider anything that is a deal because I am getting a new TV too

Can you be more specific?

Any home cinemas?

If you get the right blu-ray player it comes with amazon prime, netflix, sony PS all built in, just add internet, some with wifi, some with ethernet, so blu-ray plus these = nearly future proof.

Physical media is a bit old fashioned isn't it?

Wow, amazon has a lot of damaged products.

My PS4 is even noisier than my noisy blu-ray player! Either I have two duff machines or too sensitive ears. :disappointed:

The 'get deal' link is working for me.

can anyone recommend a quiet blu ray player please. I'm currently using my original PS3 which humms. is the ps4 player quiet? thanks in advance

Do you have a link to the entire list?

Thanks, been after one for a while

thanks op, was after one for the bedroom this fits the bill perfect

Mine (some Sony model, can't remember the number) hums a fair bit and it is quite annoying during the quiet bits in films! Recommendations for a super quiet model would also be appreciated.

can anyone of these be made region/zone free for bluray playback?

broken link ?

BTW thanks for post, heat added

I thought everyone just used a ps4 nowadays?

Thanks!

Thank you Oh thank you for not using separate posts for each item like some peeps do (know what I mean)

After buying the 49" Sony 4K TV from an earlier deal, this post has found me a 4K upscaling Sony BDP-S7200 in very good used condition for £72.42 which is a massive saving off new price - many thanks to the poster.

thanks
