Product Description
Revel in astounding HD clarity with the BDP-BX1 Blu-ray Disc player. This player also outputs a Full 1080/24p True Cinema picture, and upscales your existing DVD collection to 1080p when using an HDMI connection. Dolby TrueHD capability delivers lossless sound that is true to the original studio master. Bringing it all together is the new icon based Xcross Media Bar, which provides simple navigation of the player's menu system. See everything your HDTV can show you. Blu-ray Disc's Full HD 1080p resolution produces over 2 million pixels per frame to produce a razor-sharp picture with unmatched depth and clarity that takes full advantage of the capabilities of today's 1080p HDTVs. That's six times the picture data contained on DVDs, which are encoded at only 480p. The BDP-BX1 is compatible with Dolby TrueHD, Dolby's next-generation lossless technology developed for high-definition disc-based media. Dolby TrueHD delivers tantalizing sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, unlocking the true high-definition entertainment experience on next-generation discs. When coupled with high-definition video, Dolby TrueHD offers an unprecedented home theater experience that lets you enjoy sound as stunning as the high-definition picture.

BDP-BX1 is basically the same as BDP-S350... October 29, 2008

If you're looking for reviews on the Sony BDP-BX1, check out the reviews for the Sony BDP-S350 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player. The BX1 is basically the S350 repackaged with a unique part number for Costco (so other retailers don't have to match their low prices). You'll find more than 100 reviews there that should apply to the BX1.
I've had the BDP-BX1 for a couple of months now, and I really like it. The player's crossbar menu system is very straightforward and easy to configure. Blu-Ray discs take longer to load than standard DVDs, so be patient.
I don't have a 1080p TV, so the quality for me is the same as watching a 1080i HD program on TV. You should read the reviews for the S350 to find out how well it works for 1080p.
It does a great job of upscaling standard DVDs - I have Batman Begins on both DVD and Blu-Ray, and after watching/pausing the same scenes, I've noticed the quality in 1080i of the upscaled DVD is amazingly close to the Blu-Ray.
It supports BD-Live, as long as you get the latest firmware. Go to Network Update in its menu. If you look at the System Information, the last 3 digits of the version should be 010 - that indicates BD-Live is enabled. You can confirm this by going to Sony's support site for BDP-BX1. But note - you need to insert a USB flash drive in the back and reboot the player before the BD-Live content begins working.
