The BD player I use in my main system is a PS3. I much prefer it to the S350, both for playing BD and for all the other stuff it can do (I do not play any games however, I mean all the other "other" stuff). The PS3 wasn't one of the OP's choices though. And it costs a lot more than the S350/S500.

If you have a reasonably current AVR with HDMI etc., it's hard to go wrong with the S350 if you must have Sony. If you don't have HDMI on your AVR, or your AVR is otherwise a bit dated, then the better Sony choice would be the S550. Presuming you want to get all the BD lossless audio capabilities.

I really don't think the first-gen Sony BDPs and their hefty build should be equated with performance as the OP suggested; they have quite the widespread reputation for underwhelming performance in just about every way. Not really models you should be considering to buy at this stage of BDP evolution.

First you need to explain the reasons for buying a new BD player, then you'll get a more focused response. - Audiophilander 01:31:56 01/06/09 (0)
