Superb GUI and classy remote First class features like BBC iPlayer and SACD playback
The BDP-S470 is one of Sony’s 3D compatible players
So provided you hook it up to a 3D TV (and pop in a 3D Blu-ray movie) you can look forward to some spectacular three dimensional images – and make no mistake
3D looks the business with this player. 2D picture quality is also lovely (although if you’re only interested in traditional two dimensional entertainment we’d recommend you opt for the c

The editors didn't like
Quirky fascia with titchy buttons
Dark image and shifting black levels
There’s only one HDMI output on the BDP-S470’s backside
And no analogue 7.1 surround sound outputs
Which means 3D watchers will have to forego high resolution surround sound in favour of old-fashioned 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS. It’s hardly a dealbreaker
The new Sony BDP-S470 is an interesting option if you need a nice and small Blu-ray player. The image quality is excellent for its low price and the digital sound is dynamic, multimedia capabilities are great, the device is simple to use, simple to confi...
The Sony BDP-S470 is an affordable 3D Blu-ray player that ticks nearly every box on a videophile's wish-list. That said, there are cheaper options available for those who aren't interesed in 3D Blu-ray, such as Sony's BDP-S370 Blu-ray player. Chris Ja...
3D-ready, low price, simple design, digital file support, HD images
Wi-Fi adaptor required, limited networking
Found for as low as £130 online, Sony’s BDP-S470 makes for a wonderful 2D Blu-ray alone - with 3D support virtually free. Excellent picture quality makes sure of that, but its superb user interface chucks in not just all-round digital file support from...

It’s hardly a dealbreaker, and it clearly helps keep the cost down, but it’s definitely a minus point.
An excellent all round 3D Blu-ray spinner that delivers pretty much everything you could want (with one notable exception) at a good price.Best offers for the Sony BDP-S470 Blu-ray playerHouse of Fraser £179.99 Amazon Marketplace £199.99 eBay.co.uk £99...
Excellent picture quality; good media-playback support; attractive styling
Lack of 7.1 analogue audio outputs
Although the 3D-capable Sony BDP-S470 isn't really worth considering unless you have a 3D TV, it's still a top-notch Blu-ray player, at a very reasonable price....
Excellent interface and ease of use, Tons of streaming options, Crazy slim form factor
Silence is not the best audio option with projectors, Forced registration with Sony for any streaming option
For TV owners, the BDP-S470 is a solid Blu-ray player. It has a slick and reasonably fast operation, tons of streaming options, and has a tiny attractive form factor. The prices I've seen on Amazon also show it to be a great deal. But if you have a pro...
Overall, the Sony BDP-470 is a good entry-level Blu-Ray player that boasts several impressive features but lacks the quality and performance that consumers expect out of a Sony product. Several users reported horror stories of defective players getting...
Abstract: If you haven’t yet made the move to Blu-ray, then this Sony might be just the ticket to get you riding on the “Blu” line. It’s got the 3D Blu-ray playback capability that, assuming Hollywood gets their act in gear soon and starts cranking out 3D Blu...
