The Sony Internet TV Blu-ray Disc Player may lack the Logitech Revue's Harmony remote functionality, but its Blu-ray drive makes it a better value if you want to get into the Google TV game.

Overall the Sony NSZ-GT1 is a decent Blu-ray player with a unique feature set, and the potential to provide the most comprehensive non-linear TV experience to the home theater.

The Sony NSZ-GT1 combines Google TV and Blu-ray in a single box, but Sony's frustrating controller, the high price, and Google TV's content issues make it a tough sell.

The Sony Internet TV NSZ-GT1 holds out the promise of finally merging the computer and the television, so that the only differences are the size of the screen and the type of chair you sit in. But its high price and clumsy execution should give you pause before you rush out and buy one.

While most of the time we loved using Google TV on Sony’s Internet TV Blu-ray player, we can’t at this point think of much of a reason you’d want this. Again, it’s definitely cool ... but we’d be much more open to a Sony Internet TV with built-in Google TV.

The Sony NSZ-GT1 is worth consideration as a great performing Blu-ray Disc player, and versatile network media player, but the remote control and Google TV platform do take some getting used to.
