Don't Waste Your Money!!!!

Strengths: Great picture before it ceases to recognize your blue ray discs.

Weakness: Will not play your blue ray discs.

We have had our Sony blue ray disc player for just over a year. We played maybe 7 discs on the player. During the 7th movie it froze and an error message came up saying no disc. Try as we might we could not get the machine to work again. A HUGE waste of money!!!! Buyer beware!!!! Sony will not stand behind this product.

Dead after 13 months...Warranty was 12

Strengths: Great Picture....until it breaks!

Weakness: Blue Ray laser failed!

I wasted my money. I can count on 1 hand the times I played a blue-ray disk (over a regular DVD). Buy a better player

The Best

Strengths: Works great. Picture on my TV with and without DVDs has been upgraded even without a 1080 TV. Consumers was right.

Weakness: None.

Would highly recommend IF you can find it. They have been hard to find, but are well worth the search. Nice slim unit that will upgrade your TV picture even without Blu Ray DVDs or the recommended 1080 TV.

Superb player

Strengths: Excellent picture (sharpness, color and depth) Smooth operation Fast disc loading Simple setup Quiet

Weakness: Confusing remote control Needs remote to play

To tell the truth, I wasn't completely sold on Blu-ray. I'd heard the hype and was interested, but the picture I got out of my standard DVD was plenty good. Man, was I blind! I bought this with permission from K-Mart to return it if I wasn't convinced. I went to the video store and rented a few titles and went home for a week. The hook-up was almost easy (I needed HDMI cables which are NOT...

Finally Sony Gets It Right

Strengths: Great picture, easy set up, small size, remaining time display

Weakness: Control panel GUI cannot be turned off

My previous Blu-ray player was a Sony until late last year when I purchased a Panasonic DMP-BD30 which had all the latest profile upgrades. The biggest problem with the Sony was its slow loading time. With the BDP-S350, this has all changed for the better. Load time have vastly improved and it is a Profile 2.0 player. Picture quality is stunning, but most Blu-ray players display this picture. One...

bdps350 sony real great

Strengths: DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding and 7.1

Weakness: blue ray live

While the BDP-S350 is interesting for its relatively low price point, it's still going to be hampered by the fact that it costs the same as the PlayStation 3--which offers almost all the same functionality (except bitstream audio output for high-resolution soundtracks),before this i have samsung player 1400 this was the worst palyer i own , with sony i have better experience my only complaint is...

Sony BDP-S350

The Sony BDP-S350 is one of two new Blu-ray players (along with the Sony BDP-S550) announced for release later in 2008 from Sony. Technically it is a Profile 1.1 player because of its support for BonusView, but does not meet the Profile 2.0 designation found in the Sony BDP-550 because of its lack of at least 256 MB of local storage. However, it will support BD-Live with a firmware update via the...
