The BDP-N460 is the Sony Blu-ray player we’ve all been waiting for, but it’s missing a few important things. The most important being Wi-Fi. For $250 it streams video through Bravia Internet Video and that includes Netflix. In place of Wi-Fi, it features “specially designed” software for Linksys’s $100 Wi-Fi dongle. Ummm, that’s just not right Sony.
Once you add the $100 for the dongle, it’s about the same price as other Blu-Ray players on the market that actually have Wi-Fi.
This Sony Blu-ray player for $250, capable of streaming video is a step in the right direction however. They just need to pack more in it.

Over all it was a good unit. I really like the Netflix instant downloads. You can order movies from Amazon, but only for 24 hr period. YouTube is ok. But make sure you take notice that when buying this unit; you have to buy a separate wireless router. The kind Sony recommends. Not sure if you can use any others.
