In Reply to: Please help me choose between Sony BDP-s500 and BDP-s350 posted by Dafve B. W. on January 5, 2009 at 14:42:38:

Thanks for the replys, let me correct a typo.

I need BD (blu-ray disc) capability but I don't need BD-LIVE interactive capability.

I want to stay with Sony because it's one-touch to turn on the LCD and player, easy for the wife and kids when I'm away on business.

All I really want to know is if the chipset in the newer Sony players has a better picture than the older, but upgraded, BDP-s500 player. I was told the 500 had a bigger power supply, seperate audio and video boards and other tweaks that look/sound better than basic units.

Historically most second generation mass-market DVD electronics are built to a cheaper standard and lower prices to attract late adopters. First generation units often feature "brute engineering" build quality that is superior to later generations (think 1st gen Sony DVD and Sacd players, quality quickly went down on later units).

Just my 2 cents, what do you think?
