  • Abstract:  It’s hard to knock the Sony BDP-S350. The machine does its job, is dependable, quiet, built solid and looks good in delivering the key features for a Blu-ray player, all at a reasonable entry-level price. Spending a few bucks for a 1GB Flash drive and...

  • You can find cheaper Blu-ray players on the market, but the Sony BDP-S350 is a strong bet. This model delivers a solid all-around package, and it does so at a price that won't break your wallet....

  • Quick Start feature loads discs faster, Slim chassis, Easy to use Sony Xross menu, Good clarity, black levels and color
  • No line-out audio for sending out decoded Dolby True-HD, No DTS-HD Master Audio decoder, Inset USB port limits what flash drives will fit, Remote does not light up or glow in dark, *
  • With a price under $300, the Sony BDP-S350 player is a good choice to make the move to a high definition movie-watching experience on your big screen HDTV. Besides being easy to set up and use, and an all-around full-featured player, the S350’s ...

  • Abstract:  As Sonys most modestly priced BD Live-enabled Blu-ray player, the BDP-S350 is likely to be one of the holiday seasons hottest commodities. With an MSRP of $299.99, down $100 since it was introduced this summer, the BDP-S350 is the first Sony Blu-ray ...

  • Excellent Blu-ray and very good DVD upconversion image quality. Automatic firmware update notification. Laudable energy efficiency.
  • Lacks 1080p24 upconversion with DVD video. Faster start-up option increases power consumption. Limited multimedia features, such as JPEG and MP3 playback.
  • A fast, solid performer, Sonys new entry-level BDP-S350 delivers a terrific Blu-ray viewing experience....

  • Excellent value. Builtin ethernet to fetch firmware upgrades and BDLive extras. Pictureinpicture feature will thrill the attentiondeficit set. Film buffs with highdollar TVs will dig the optional 1080/24p output.
  • Lousy networking setup; we had to enter everything manually. Primitive remote. Doesnt ship with BDLive installed.Denon DVD2500BTCI $1000 Handles a full spectrum of formats - including DivX - and wins on quality. Bummer its so expensive and lacks BDLive...

  • Finally, a profile 2.0 Bluray player from the prime backer of the format, This player works as easily and efficiently as almost any DVD player out there, yet will smoke them in video performance with Bluray discs, The BDPS350's size is a big step forward for Sony. Their original Bluray players were huge. This unit is smaller than many conventional DVD players. The general appearance is mod
  • This player will output every audio format in bitstream and will also output LPCM for everything but DTSHD Master Audio. Therefore, to take advantage of all the new codecs, you'll either need a receiver or AV preamp that can decode those bitstreams or to spend another $100 for the BDPS550 which has analog outputs, The construction of the player is solidfeeling and adequate for the price point
  • Hurray! We finally have a BD Profile 2.0 player from Sony and for less than $300. The BDP-S350 offers those with the newer receivers or pre/pros all they need to appreciate all the new audio codecs in a sleek and elegant package that is a huge leap f...

  • Poor deinterlacing of 1080i content, No DTSHD HR/MA Decoding, Slightly confusing settings options, Recessed USB Port
  • The Sony BDP-S350 may not be perfect, but it offers a great value at a reasonable price and is well built to boot. The players BD-Live ready status makes it ready for the future of the format. [editorss note, the BD-Live upgrade has been delivered an...
