Users can gain access to the Sony Entertainment Network, which features on-demand movies, videos, music, and sports footage through the internet video-streaming service. Capable of 3D content playback and converting 2D content into 3D, the players come with built-in DLNA capabilities, which mean that users get to enjoy music and videos which are stored on other Sony compatible devices such as Sony tablets, Xperia smartphones, or Android Walkman(s).

While the BDP-S590 comes with a built-in Wi-Fi function, the BDP-S490 connects just as easily to your internet network with the help of a USB wireless LAN Adaptor.

The Sony BDP-S590 and BDP-S490 Blu-ray Disc players are priced at S$299 and S$249 respectively and are available now from all Sony stores and authorized outlets.
