I acquired a Sony BDP-S550, Sony BDP-S350, and PS3. In the 3 weeks that I've had this player, it's done a good job on video and audio quality. I'm running it on a 37" Hitachi connected through HDMI. I've never had any of the stutters or other audio/video glitches that others have mentioned.

Our good friend Gary Merson the HD Guru reviewed Sony's BDP-S350 and Panasonic's DMP-BD50 , the latest Blu-ray players from each company, Battlemodo style . Both BD players scored high marks on video performance, with a slight edge to Panasonic, but Panasonic's $600 BD50 smoked Sony's S350 on pretty...

More Blu for Your BudgetThe 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 has had a problem for a while now. Because it's a large company, each division operates in quite a separate environment. For Blu-ray, this has been something of a disaster. On the one hand, you have Sony's computer-entertainment division, which has been pushing the PlayStation 3 , with its...

Picture; sound; styling; performance; menu system; low price

Could be cheaper still; no 7.1 audio outputs or DTS-HD MA decode

Any way you look at it, the Sony BDP-S350 is an excellent Blu-ray player. It's well designed and easy to use. It supports high-end Blu-ray features such as BD-Live. And it produces good-looking images.

Just got the player about a month ago. The Player works awsome, much faster load times than the older bdps300. Great bang for the buck picture just as good as the more expensive bdps550 with just a couple less features. Which most people will never use.

Load time much faster this year; Ethenet connectivity; Dolby true hd and DTS HD audio

No DTS HD Master Audio; Lacks 7.1 audio

By no means perfect, but Sony have definitely stepped their Blu-ray players up a gear with this deck

Good picture quality; Decent sound; Efficient upscaling

Unimpressive build; Needs to be updated for BD-Live; DTS via bitstream only

A bit slow to turn on and eject the disc but I think I'm just spoiled from having and used to loading movies on that.

If you'd prefer not to spend a fortune on a Blu-ray player, but still want the quality-assurance that comes from the Sony brand, then the BDP-S350 is a top-quality choice.

Great performance for the asking price; attractive & compact design; comparatively fast load times; user-friendly interface

Poorly designed USB port; analog outputs limited to 2-channel

Comments about Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray Disc Player: You have to buy your own HDTV cable. As for the remote it comes with that works ok but I have to use the Verizon remote and the Sony TV remote to actually see a movie. Or maybe I just don't know how to program the Sony remote to do all functions.

DVD Upconversion; Easy Set-Up; Excellent Image Quality; Good Connections; Good Soundtrack Support; Upgradeable

Remote; Slow Load Time
