Sony BDP-S350
Reviewer: PC Magazine17 November 2008- Overall 8
Analog audiophiles who need multichannel analog audio outputs should skip the Sony BDP-S350, but for the rest of us, this player delivers a terrific Blu-ray and upconverted DVD viewing experience in an affordable, energy-efficient, compact design.

Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray Player
Reviewer: Home Theater16 November 2008The BDP-S350 is Sony’s follow-up to the popular BDP-S300. One of the most inexpensive standalone players on the market, the BDP-S350 includes some great new features that the BDP-S300 design didn’t have. Sony overhauled its form factor, with a case that’s nearly half the size of the company’s earlier players. The player also employs a sleek new interface that uses Sony’s popular Xross Media Bar. While player prices have not headed farther south yet, the... Read more

Reviewer: What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision03 November 2008
You wouldn’t think so much effort could go into making a budget Blu-ray player, but a peek at the BDP-S350 shows that Sony really has pulled out all the stops. It’s a lean, mean, disc-spinning machine. Sony has crammed all the electronics into a small chassis that’s been embossed and strengthened in key areas to reduce the effects of unwanted vibrations. The player also uses a new, virtually silent fan, and even the solder has been changed in an attempt to help... Read more

Excellent player, but feature deficient\!
Reviewer: Buyzillion.com1 week ago- Overall 8
While this player does an excellent job at playing blu-ray discs and upscaling standard DVDs, it is deficient in 2 areas. (1) I should not have to supply my own USB thumb drive to add memory for the BDLIVE feature. Also, Sony purposely made the slot width very narrow so that you can not plug in most thumb drives. Very cleverly Sony makes the Micro Vault series of thumb drives that fit this narrow slot exactly. (2) This player should have incorporated wifi, not just an... Read more

Best value for blu ray player
Reviewer: Reviewer, Amazon3 weeks ago- Overall 8
Out of all the blu ray players on the market today this one has the best value. Its not really high priced and also not really dirt cheap. It produces a great picture for normal dvds and an excellent picurre for blu rays. It also has one of the fastest load times out of all the blu ray players right now. The firm ware is upgradable by connecting it to the internet via the handy ethernet port or buy an update cd. This allows you to update to BD live 2.0 firmware from the... Read more

Great player for a decent price
Reviewer: Plasma TV Compare03 December 2008- Overall 10
I purchased this unit in October for a good price at the time $265.00. I have a Philips 42" LCD 1080i TV, Philips Soundbar and connected all via HDMI and digital audio. Sound is amazing, upconverts all very well and was a breeze to setup. I chose the CD method to update the firmware. Ordered online and it was delivered in less than a week. Load times a bit slower but well worth the wait. Don't hesitate to get this one. Read more
