Sony BDP-S360 Review
Although a few people report problems playing DVDs on this model, most users are very satisfied despite its lack of some video streaming features; professional reviewers also praise its picture quality. It's a good player for high-end audio as well, with support for Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD audio formats. And because it's a profile 2.0 player, you can access extra BD-Live content on Blu-ray movies that support this feature.
Sony BDP-S360 reviews by most users praise it for its good picture quality and easy setup, although some at Best Buy's site mention they had trouble playing some DVDs on this player. Also, a few owners bemoan the absence of an eject button on the player's remote control. On a BDP-S360 review at PC Magazine it is rated "very good" for its picture quality, which is described as "exceptionally detailed."
The Sony BDP-S360 supports just about every disc format you can throw at it, including several variations of BD, DVD, and CD formats. For audio formats, the BDP-S360 supports Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD. On the back of the player you'll find an HDMI port, component output, optical digital audio output, and an Ethernet connection.
You don't find many Sony products that are inexpensive enough to slip into Cheapism territory. This one qualifies, and it's a good value.
Other Recommended Blu Ray Players
Panasonic DMP-BD60K
This budget Blu-ray player garners lots of positive reviews for its picture quality, easy firmware updates, and ease of setup and use. It may not have all the bells and whistles of other players, such as Netflix streaming, but we found fewer complaints about this model than many others. A 2.0 profile player, it supports Panasonic's Viera Cast feature, which lets you connect to the Web to access YouTube videos and view online photos via Picasa. Read more »
Samsung BD-P1600
Samsung's BD-P1600 player isn't without its problems. It receives good marks from professional reviewers, but some customers note issues replaying some Blu-ray movies, and a handful of players stopped working prematurely. But when it does work, it works well. This is a 2.0 profile player that also supports Netflix and Pandora, a couple of nice extras at this price that aren't available in our top two picks. The BD-P1600 also supports many audio formats, including DTS-HD, Dolby Digital TrueHD, and Dolby Digital Plus. Read more »
