Awesome Bluray portable player!!!, November 22, 2009I bought this product in October and am thoroughly impressed with its picture clarity and sound clarity. Best of all I can carry my Bluray's along and view it wherever I like. It is expensive but totally… worth the buy if its portability you are looking for. Its got a whole host of features which I will test over a period of time. At this point of time I am happy to view my movies in Hi Def anywhere, anyplace anytime!!!
Portable Bluray player, September 7, 2009Fantastic Portable Blu-ray player, June 7, 2009I bought this player the day it was released direct from Panasonic. This is a high quality device. Beautiful hi-rez screen, excellent build quality. The hard-wired internet connection allows you to stream… youtube videos and view Pacasa slides in hi-rez. You can also playback DIVX rentals or purchased movies that you download on you PC and write to DVD. You can also update the firmware from the WEB. I have been able to watch movies in the car with the 3 hour battery or the included 12V car adapter. I love the way the screen folds flat against the unit and then able to tilt up or down. All my friends are amazed at the high quality and the bright picture. Way to go Panasonic!! PS, Panasonic is still trying to get me a date for the availability of the optional 6 HR. Battery.
