From experience with it, I would not get it. It's very archaic and obsolete. The apps freeze a lot and the Netflix app doesn't function properly. You're better off getting either a Roku or a Blu-Ray player that has app functionality which most do that are wifi

Ive had it for over 6months. I really like it. It streams hulu..Netflix and more. Only downfall is that it won't stream certain video types directly from the wed.

The interface is infuriatingly slow and it stutters during prime time. Unless you need the component out, get a Chromecast.

I had one. Used it for over 2 years and worked pretty good. Although I would probably recommend something else like fireTV over this. Depends on how much he wants, and how willing you are to fiddle with it.

If the neighbor were giving it away, I would try. Otherwise, don't! Mine went to Goodwill.

This streamer is as good as any other. I mostly use my Blu-Ray or Smart TV now, though.

I saw on Sony forum that some of the buyers of the product, got those issues. The administrator of the forum, suggested to take it the repair.... So there's definetly something ronh with it.

The memory stick choice was a deal killer for me. I already have several SD memory cards, PC adapters to read them, and a Dell laptop that has an SD slot. Another example of Sony driven more by their engineers (NIH: not invented here) and not focusing on what prospective customers want. Other than the memory stick choice the Sony seems like a fine camera.

BTW...yesterday I was in BB and Sony has just released a 32" XBR9 1080p with 120hz Motionflow technology... and it is up on the Sony Style website.. so much for what the salesman tell you that Sony is not going to produce..But compared to the Sony 32" 1080p 60 hz.. I thought the higher priced model with 120hz looked grainy to me. I really didn't see the $200 difference in the (retail price). Perhaps on Blu Ray disc viewing there is a difference.. GLTA

Anthony: I used to have a JVC Everio, the first model out some years back. I loved the size of the thing, and it took great still pics. The only thing I didn't like was the .MOD file extensions for the videos. It was, quite frankly, a pain in the butt trying to deal with the vids. I ended up selling it. I don't know if they corrected that .MOD nonsense, but somehow I don't believe so. Go with the SONY (my opinion). Congrats on the baby :-) Mike

Guys, Fuji repairs all SAB affected cameras even after the warranty expired. I got that in writing from Fuji support and am not worried at all. They know they will lose customers if they don't fix this quality related issue. I will keep my x100 and don't upgrade. The s is tempting but I rather wait for a new Xpro-2 with all the nice new features ;)

Sony is no good! Mine is a $400 paperweight! Will not turn on to use. Sony was no help in repair had to send as much to have it looked at as it was to buy a new one. Buy another brand.

Kathy:It seems that Sony uses this trade name "Xplod" on several of their different products including this one. My personal philosophy is to not be concerned about the trade name, but more focused on the right product attributes that I am looking for and not to buy extra features which I don't need or don't want to pay for. The brand name also means something to me and Sony is a pretty good brand.Jim

Should play beautifully with all other things being equal. All machine brands I have owned have been picky about tape brands for some reason, and the Sony N750 is no different. I have had luck with Sony tapes in the past and I am using Maxell now. BASF, RCA, Fuji, etc, all had problems, mostly with rolling picture or sound lines. Also, 8-hour tapes have always been best for me. Other than that, the two machines should be good friends.

I bought a used one last year. It is working pretty well, the screen is good and working fine, the only minor issue is the on/off button is little unsmooth sometimes, but no big deal when I do regular recording or transferring to PC for making DVDS. Let me know if you want mine, I recently bought a new SONY model.

I believe it is. And I do have to say it's not 7 months that I've had this and the sub is popping a ton. I called to have them send return shipping to have it sent back for repair and they told me to bad you have to pay. Sooooo something to consider. I'm not a very happy camper with this paying 700 bucks 7 months later it breaks and they won't pay shipping. The sound is phenomenal. Service horrible. There is s new Sony of comprable pricing. Thinking I'm heading in that direction myself.

I have three Sony Internet players in the house, and a 50 mbs internet connection. Generally it works well, although I did move the player at the far end of the basement onto a wired connection. Occasionally I still have an issue with the responsiveness of youtube videos, but as far as I can tell it is an issue with their streaming server or local ISP congestion, not with the player.
