We review Sony's network enabled BDP-N460 Blu-Ray player which offers better build quality and more features than most players in it's class. Sony basically pioneered Blu-Ray disc technology so it stands to reason that they would be a trusted maker of quality Blu-Ray disc players. However, consumer level Blu-Ray players from Sony and others have historically been slow, clunky and often manufactured on the cheap to make the new technology more affordable for understandably reluctant buyers. Sony’s new BDP-N460 seems to have broken that trend by offering a wealth of features, intuitive menus and a dizzying selection of streaming internet media access in a well built player available at a surprisingly low price. As such, the new BDP-N460 sets the bar exceedingly high for affordable Blu-Ray players, and that’s good news for everyone.The all black BDP-N460 has a very clean look with only a power button, eject button and “stop” and “play” buttons gracing the front panel. The disc tray is hidden behind a motorized flip-down panel that snaps back into place when pulled down manually (handy for those with kids whose prying hands tend to find their electronics).
Sony may be the "face" of Blu-ray, but the company's standalone Blu-ray players have been a step behind those of Panasonic, LG, and Samsung, which featured extensive streaming media functionality early in 2009. The Sony BDP-N460 is Sony's attempt at catch-up, released just a month before the holiday season and Netflix-enabled a few weeks afterward. Yes, the BDP-N460 is overdue, but it's largely worth the wait, with a suite of streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Video On-Demand, YouTube, Slacker, and NPR) that challenges the media-rich LG BD390 at a substantially lower price. The BDP-N460 can't compete with the BD390 when it comes to hardware features, though; it's missing built-in Wi-Fi, onboard storage, multichannel analog outputs and media streaming over your home network. The PS3 Slim is also available for about a hundred dollars more, which is worth it if you want a high-def gaming console and media streamer. Still, the BDP-N460 offers a compelling combination of streaming functionality and solid Blu-ray playback at a more affordable price, making is a strong choice for buyers on a budget. Design The BDP-N460 nearly copies the design of Sony's entry-level BDP-S360.
