Solid Blu-ray Disc Player
Unit arrived and works well. Up-converted standard DVDs look great. Haven’t played too many Blu-ray, but the few I have look great.

Worst Electronics Purchase Ever
I have to give it at least one star, but this is easily the worst electronics purchase I have ever made.

Don’t overlook the audio
There are many reviews listed here that list the various merits or shortcomings of the player, so I wont get deeply into those here beyond this:
1) firmware updates…

Best for Blu-Ray
Blu-ray discs look and sound terrific in this player. Sound is quite nice and expansive, even through the TV speakers. Upscaling is only ok, though.

Didn’t last long
ACT I:
Got this player at Best Buy nearly a month ago. One evening, out of the blue (no pun intended), the player started sliding the images right to left.

VERY SOLID AND RELIABLE
Here is some background on my home theater equipment. I’ve got an older 1080i Toshiba 50H82 (Jan 2003), a Yamaha 300 (5540) surround sound, a solid Panasonic DVD player, the RP82…

I purchased my BDP-S350 from Sony Style web site. This is my first BD player. I was waiting for the format war to end once it did I read a column by David Pouge in the New York Times that said you might consider waiting to making the jump to BD until the next generation of players to come out on the market.

This one loads pretty fast. From what I read it is much faster then older models. I was upgrading coming from a Sony 5 disc up converting DVD player and that thing was slow so I'm very satisfied. The picture is awesome and the audio is great too. I don't even have it connected to a amp that does Dolby Tru-HD or DTS-MA. That will be my next purchase.

There is only one thing that I'm disappointed with the player has the Bravia Theater Sync feature. Which works great with my Sony amp. But for some reason the DVD remote will only control the volume for the TV not the amp. So I still have to use a second remote for volume on my Sony amp. This makes no sense to me.

We watched Batman Begins, Mission Impossible III, and the Bucket List on BD so far. Batman Begins was jaw dropping good from an audio and picture quality issue. My wife said she had no clue that a DVD could look that good.

I also watched Stop Loss on a SD DVD and that look pretty good too.

The DVD player has a slot in the back for a USB drive and it also has a ethernet port so it can connect to the net for firmware updates and to access bonus features.

There is another model the S-550 due out in the fall it will cost more but it decodes all the audio inside the player.

Overall a week in I'm happy with the purchase and I'm happy I waited for this model.
