I bought a Sony BDP S470 from Richer Sounds a few years back. With multi region DVD playback it was I think �120 - multi region added �20 to the price.

We don't use it much, but it does what it is suppose to do, integrates nicely with our Sony TV, is reasonably snappy and has no annoying habits. But it's not one to leave on show as it may blow away in the breeze.

I think major difference with Sony models are simply down to feature set. I went with S470 as it was cheapest of the 3D models at the time.

I'm not saying that quality cannot be bettered, but I've not noticed anything wrong with the picture, but I've only got a 'small' 40" TV and never closely scrutinised the image.

At �50, the S1100 is nearly disposable.
