Product Description
Panasonic has always been at the cutting edge of Blu-ray technology, but its latest range of players looks to push the boundaries even further. The DMP-BD60 is the entry-level player in the company's latest three-strong line-up - which also includes the step-up DMP-BD80 and the DMP-BD70V Blu-ray/VHS combi (no, really) - and the big breakthrough on these models is the inclusion of Viera Cast functionality, also found on the company's Z1, V10 and G15 NeoPDP TVs.

Great for 2009 July 19, 2010
Corey L. Oakes (TX)
This unit has been obsoleted by model DMP-BD65 (ASIN: B0038KN114) which would be a better purchase because it is less expensive and has Netflix capablity.
With consumer products, newer has almost always meant better, faster and cheaper and that is the case here.
This unit's time has come and gone if you want the current Wi-Fi capabilities that Sony and LG offer as well.
This was my first blu-ray disc player and it works great after a few minutes of cold start POST (power on self test). A DVD will play in it, but I prefer to use my 3-disc carousel DVD player because it is faster.
Overall, it is a great step up technologically, but it is slow and had a short life before it was replaced with the upgraded model.
 Can't play Netflix July 18, 2010
Don't Be Hatin (OK, USA)

I purchased this product last Xmas and have played a couple of Blu-Ray movies. I recently joined Netflix and "Panasonic Networking Blue-Ray Player" was listed as one of components to be able to play Netflix streaming video, so I decided to upgrade my wireless network from "G" to "N" just so that I can start watching Netflix streaming videos via my entertainment center. I got wireless network setup and Panasonic Blu-Ray player downloaded the latest firmware, and when I went to VIERA screen, Netflix was not listed. So I called customer service and the rep told me that this particular model does not support Netflix! I was SOOOOOO disappointed. The service rep told me that I have to have either DMP-BD65 or DPM-BD85 model.
 PANASONIC vieracast can't be updated July 4, 2010

Well if you were wondering what all those "COMING SOON" boxes are when you connect through vieracast with this unit they are empty because
this model will not be updated to receive netflix or other services you need to purchase newer 2010 models a major marketing blunder as people who were happy to have a model that had programmable firmware are now only few months own a model that's rendered obsolete. I will buy sony next time..

Good picture and sound quality when you eventually get to watch your movie. Very slow start-up. Many discs have frozen, buy play on other players.
Deception by Panasonic June 17, 2010
J. Leavitt-Wipf (Bethel, CT USA)

Panasonic failed to update its marketing details for this model. It was sold with the promise of full compatibility with Viera Cast, with a URL listed. When one goes to the Viera Cast Web site to find out what Viera Cast includes, they see Netflix and Skype, with NO mention that these only work on *certain* models. They may not be making more of these models, but they are still in circulation, being sold new at places like Walmart. Only after a person checks numerous sites for reviews, and googles tech news, does one learn that Netflix and Skype are not included. Deceptive, wrong and infuriating. If our wii from several years ago can integrate Netflix, Panasonic should be able to do the same. They also promised that Viera Cast would be upgradeable, so that buyers of the original models did not have to worry about their model being obsolete. Liars. I will never buy another Panasonic product. There are plenty of other brands that are loyal to their customers.
