The Blu-ray revolution continues with the Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray Player. You can take full advantage of the Bonus View feature of select Blu-ray movies, and are ready to dive into BD-Live when the update is available. In true Sony fashion, the BDP-S350 will output a Full 1080/24p True Cinema picture, plus upscale your existing DVD collection to 1080p as well, when using the HDMI connection. On board decoding for Dolby TrueHD is here, also the ability to send out the bitstream for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD (Master Audio & High Resolution) as well. BRAVIA sync ensures that with the touch of a button, you can easily power on and synch the inputs of compatible Sony compatible BRAVIA flat-panel LCD HDTV sets and Sony audio/video devices connected to the players, via HDMI, for hassle-free enjoyment of high-definition Blu-ray Discs. Bringing it all together is the new Xcross Media Bar menu system, which is an icon based menu system for simple navigation of the BDP-S350’s menu system.

Got it for an older friend who was a bit skeptical about the blu-ray technology. After he got it, he noticed a huge difference and is hooked. And if he's hooked, that's good enough for me, since he's a picky kind of guy.

The BDP-S350 is about a year old, and is showing no sign of slowing down at the moment. Thanks to the fact that all BD players are upgradable, the latest firmware upgrade for S350 has rendered it compatible with the most recent Blu-ray titles.
Although the loading time for S350 can't compete with a Playstation 3, it is probably one of the fastest machines in the market. Loading time for earlier BD titles is as fast as most DVDs, while newer titles takes less than a minute to play.
The picture quality of this player depends alot on the quatlity of the source, as most BD and DVD players, but from what I can see so far, the S350 performs the best 1080 upscaling for DVDs. Since my S350 was purchased in Singapore, the player is shipped without DVD region lock so I can put any DVD into the machine right out of the box.
When paired with the cosmetically matching HT-SF2300, the current firmware decodes every kind of audio stream into LPCM and feeds it straight into the SF2300. There is no option to turn this feature off at the moment, as in to output the original bit stream. This may be a turn off for some prospective buyers. The S350 also outputs a blank 5.1 LPCM flag when the source disc is in pause mode so the SF2300 doesn't switch to analog or idle mode when the S350 is in pause. Anyone who owns the HT-SF2300 or any low end Hi-Fi receiver knows it is quite annoying when your receiver goes idle and then tries to resume decoding when the BD/DVD player resumes playback. You tend lose a second or two of the sound.
The xcross graphic user interface is very pleasant to the eyes, and easy to navigate through. Too bad the xcross menu does not appear to be in high definition; the text and graphic look very soft under my 40" screen.
Highly recommended for speed and responsiveness, especially considering the price tag.

This is one of the cheaper models yes, but it's still a great machine.
I've been using it for about 4 months now. I've only had a few issues with the player, one, it wouldn't play the new Skynet version of T2. I ended up having to update the firmware and while the Blu-ray took a long time to load, it did eventually play the film. By doing so I realized that the firmware I had was one of the first updates available (I believe there's now over 20) so as soon as you get this hooked up you're going to want to update.
Second, the player seems to have an issue with DVD-R's. For some reason when I put a DVD-r that's not formatted to a DVD (meaning I've just dropped various video files onto the disc) it doesn't want to play it. The picture menu comes up, even though the files are all AVI. So if I want to watch a movie I've burned I have to format it to a DVD using the program "convertxtodvd." Not too big of a deal though.
These two issues are small and for me definitely do not detract from the score or quality of the machine.
I guess I do have one more complaint, but this concerns most players also, you still have to buy hdmi cables for the best quality picture, I think that these should be included.
Alright, done with the bad, now onto the good.
*It's easy to hook up and figure out.
*for most Blu's it's fast loading.
*it's hackable for those of you who want to play DVD's from other regions.
*the quality is great for being low priced it is IMO one of the better players that I've had the pleasure of using.
*It's very sleek looking. Looks great sitting next to my flat panel.
So there you have it. The good outweighs the bad. Very high quality machine, exactly what you'd expect from a brand like Sony. So what are you waiting for? Buy it!

Purchased the Sony BDP-S350 BD unit last Christmas, and it has generally performed reliably well, and with the high quality one comes to expect from this technology.
I give it a failing grade because of a few quirks. First of all, I noticed right away that this player does not have many features that have come standard in DVD players (and VCRs) for years, such as Frame Advance (i.e. slow motion). My guess is that Sony will add these features later on new models to justify one shelling out a couple of hundred again for those features in a new unit. I have not checked other models of different brands nor researched this subject so I may be mistaken here, and it may actually be a technological hurdle.
Secondly, the unit requires firmware updates to play some of the latest offerings (e.g. Terminator 2, Skynet Edition). For those of us who can't connect the player to the Internet nor burn the firmware update in a disc from a computer (most CD burning programs that come with a new computer lack image burning capabilities unless one purchases a software upgrade), Sony offers to send a free CD with the update, which may be ordered by visiting their website. I ordered mine two months ago, and I'm still waiting for it, oh should I say I am no longer waiting for it. Sony has just lost a customer.

Picture is excellent for the blu-ray discs. The most impressive feature is the upconvert of a standard DVD. Seems to increase them to about a 750p. Impressive. Starting up and setting is slow, you must answer 3 queries to get going. The picture quality is worth it.
