Anyone have any first hand experience with this player? It looks great, and the features it has makes me want it even more. Let me know your pros/cons. If any.

    What in particular interests you about this player?

    You're at a price there where there may be better options, depending on what you requirements are.

    I've been doing quite a bit of research lately and am familiar with almost everything that's out. I've found that it's best to make a list of your requirements and then look at your options, as opposed to focussing on a player.

    What has me interested is the netflix and playback of networked files. I've got an oppo for upscaling old DVDs, so that's not a priority.

    Got any suggestions w/ that feature list?

    Must have wireless capabilites
    I like the Netflix Streaming
    Pandora is a plus
    Hard Drive is an awsome feature.

    Im pretty much open to suggestions. This player can be had for around 350 from other retailers. So id like to stick with something in that range.

    You guys take a look at my quick rundown on the Sony S370.

    http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1309459&postcount=32

    unc2701, that Sony has Netflix and a bunch of other streaming options, but it won't get DLNA until July, so if that's something you need NOW, the LG 570 has it and is $70 more, that LG is the cheapest stable player I'm aware of that has it. The $179 LG (550) does NOT have DLNA, you have to step up to the 570 to get that.

    Schweet972, the hard drive capacity is a nice feature on the 590, and it's not an option on anything else iin that price range that I'm aware of. if that's a 'must have' for you, then the 590 is really your only choice. With DLNA on other machines, this isn't as big of a bonus for me, I'll just grab that stuff off my PC.
