Excellent Blu-ray and very good DVD upconversion image quality. Automatic firmware update notification. Laudable energy efficiency.
Finally
A profile 2.0 Bluray player from the prime backer of the format
This player works as easily and efficiently as almost any DVD player out there
Yet will smoke them in video performance with Bluray discs
The BDPS350's size is a big step forward for Sony. Their original Bluray players were huge. This unit is smaller than many conventional DVD players. The general appearance is mod
Relatively inexpensive compared with other standalone units
Excellent Blu-ray image quality and very good DVD upscaling

Excellent value. Builtin ethernet to fetch firmware upgrades and BDLive extras. Pictureinpicture feature will thrill the attentiondeficit set. Film buffs with highdollar TVs will dig the optional 1080/24p output.
The editors didn't like
Remote is neither programmable nor backlit
Poor deinterlacing of 1080i content
No DTSHD HR/MA Decoding
Slightly confusing settings options
Recessed USB Port
Lacks 1080p24 upconversion with DVD video. Faster start-up option increases power consumption. Limited multimedia features
Such as JPEG and MP3 playback.
This player will output every audio format in bitstream and will also output LPCM for everything but DTSHD Master Audio. Therefore
To take advantage of all the new codecs
You'll either need a receiver or AV preamp that can decode those bitstreams or to spend another $100 for the BDPS550 which has analog outputs
The construction of the player is solidfeeling and adequate for the price point
Not currently compatible with Blu-ray Profile 2.0
Recessed USB port can be difficult to access
No onboard DTS-HD Master Audio decoding
Quick start option uses power even when player is off.
No line-out audio for sending out decoded Dolby True-HD
No DTS-HD Master Audio decoder
Inset USB port limits what flash drives will fit
Remote does not light up or glow in dark

You can find cheaper Blu-ray players on the market, but the Sony BDP-S350 is a strong bet. This model delivers a solid all-around package, and it does so at a price that wont break your wallet. Lincoln Spector Lowest online price: ££159.99 Buy i...
Abstract: The BDP-S350 was a Profile 1.1 player at its launch but Sony has made good on its promise and made it Profile 2.0 through a firmware update. Youll need to leave a flash drive in the rear-mounted USB port to access BD Live content, though. S-video ...

Recessed USB port can be difficult to access; no onboard DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; quick start option uses power even when player is off.
If youre dead set on a standalone Blu-ray player, the BDP-S350 has a small form factor, solid feature set, and relatively low price--but the PlayStation 3 is still a better value
L'une des plus rapides pour démarrer la lecture d'un film, Excellente qualité d'image, Réglage de la luminosité de la façade
Incompatible avec les fichiers DivX et MP3, Pas de décodage du DTSHD MA, Prise USB trop enfoncée et pratiquement inutilisable (sauf bien entendu avec LA clé USB Sony)
Une très bonne platine Blu-ray à laquelle on reproche surtout l'absence de compatibilité DivX présente chez toutes les concurrentes....
La compatible BDJava et BDLive, Le prix modéré, Sorties analogiques 7.1, Transfert des flux audio HD natifs via la HDMI
Pas de décodage DTSHD sur le BDPS350
Sony mettra à jour dès l’été 2008 sa gamme de produits Blu-ray avec le lancement d’un nouveau lecteur d’entrée de gamme, compatible avec l’interactivité dynamique BD-Java et capable de profiter de l’option BD-Live grâce à son...
geringer Stromverbrauch von nur 13 Watt im Betrieb, sehr gutes Kinobild mit 24p, Bitstreamausgabe von HDTon, Bluray Profil 2.0 / Update für BD Live vorgesehen
DVDVollbildwandlung nicht ganz perfekt, Kein Audio Decoder für DTS HD eingebaut
