I was looking at CC web site, and they have the SONY BDP-S300 for $199.99 with an additional 10% off. That would make it around $179.99, is this a good player for the price??

Sony is a four letter word. I wouldn't buy it for 10 bucks.

I.B... the similar model (from 2008) Sony player started as a 1.0 player, but had a recent (Sept) firmware update for 2.0 capability. More info and review (and owner comments) -

> Cnet Review of Sony BDP-S350

Excerpt: Since the Sony PlayStation 3 appeared on the scene, it's been CNET's go-to choice for those interested in Blu-ray--even if they weren't interested in gaming. At $400, the PS3 was delivering a full-service Blu-ray player, with the added value of being a top-notch digital media device and gaming machine as well. But as Blu-ray players get better and cheaper, the equation is no longer so cut and dry. Sony's own BDP-S350 is a good example. With its latest firmware update in place, the S350 adds full BD-Live (Profile 2.0) compatibility to its bag of tricks. That leaves only its annoyingly recessed USB port (for added storage) and its lack of onboard DTS-HD Master Audio decoding (not a huge issue outside of audiophile circles) as the remaining red flags--and neither is a deal-killer. The Sony is in a neck-and-neck battle with such other full-featured standalone Blu-ray players as the Panasonic DMP-BD35 and the Samsung BD-P1500. And now that all of those models can be found for as low as $300, they're realistic alternatives to the PS3 (for nongamers, at least).

Here's a Review of the Sony S300 model you are referring to (2007 model):
