The Blu-ray revolution continues with the Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray Player. You can take full advantage of the Bonus View feature of select Blu-ray movies, and are ready to dive into BD-Live when the update is available. In true Sony fashion, the BDP-S350 will output a Full 1080/24p True Cinema picture, plus upscale your existing DVD collection to 1080p as well, when using the HDMI connection. On board decoding for Dolby TrueHD is here, also the ability to send out the bitstream for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD (Master Audio & High Resolution) as well. BRAVIA sync ensures that with the touch of a button, you can easily power on and synch the inputs of compatible Sony compatible BRAVIA flat-panel LCD HDTV sets and Sony audio/video devices connected to the players, via HDMI, for hassle-free enjoyment of high-definition Blu-ray Discs. Bringing it all together is the new Xcross Media Bar menu system, which is an icon based menu system for simple navigation of the BDP-S350’s menu system.

I already had an HD-DVD player, so I was familiar with the "next-gen" DVDs and their 1080p/24fps qualities.
After the death of the HD-DVD format, I was in the market for a simple BD player. I looked at the Sony PS3, but as I had already invested heavily in my Xbox 360, I could not justify spending even more money on a game console that did not have too much in the way of games that I enjoyed playing.
So, I went ahead and got a BDP-S350. It works as advertised. Great sound, picture and interface (just like the PS3's). The first movie I viewed on it was "Dark Knight" and it was everything I expected.
If you can find this player for under $200 (which is what it seems to be going at nowadays), get it. DVD players used to cost this much, and the improvement is significant over the older media.
As an aside, it is a great upconverter for older discs, so you can still hang on to those...:)

The player works great but I expected more out of Sony. The does does not have the option for slow motion or frame advancing. Other than that I quite pleased with the picture quality. Sony BDP-S350 1080p

Generally I'm very happy with this player. I got it at a good price at Best Buy a few months ago. I don't even have a hi-def TV yet, and I can already see a difference in the picture with Blu-Ray discs on a regular TV.
I purchased the Blu-Ray of "Amadeus", and even when viewed on a regular TV through the BD player it looks FABULOUS!
The remote is easy to navigate with, and the menu screens on the TV (via the player) are neither too complex nor overly-elaborate.
I don't have the player hooked up to an Internet cable yet for all the firmware updates, Blu-Ray Live features, etc, but that's not really my thing anyway. I just want the movies I watch to look cool!
The only drawback I see is that there is no frame-by-frame advance feature. I didn't see anything about that feature on any published or online literature for this model, so I just crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. No luck in that department, I guess.
If you've read a lot of reviews of BD players, you've no doubt heard about various "start-up times", or how long it takes the player to read and start playing a Blu-Ray disc. Yes, it can often be slower than a standard DVD, but it isn't so long as to be a deal-breaker.
Overall, I'm very happy with this player's performance -- even if it doesn't have frame advance. You can REALLY tell the difference between standard DVD and Blu-Ray discs even if you don't have a hi-def TV yet.
Christmas is just around the corner. Think I'll buy me a plasma TV to go along with my S350. Bring some beer and you can come over and we'll watch some Blu-Ray movies! First up -- "Blade Runner" and "The Fall". And when and if "Jaws" ever comes out on Blu-Ray, be advised that I'm taking the phone off the hook when I watch it.

There are many reviews listed here that provides the virtues and shortcomings (not too many) of this player, so I will not get into the details. I've been using this unit for a week or so, and it's my first blu-ray player.
It has excellent looks, not too loud, amazing picture and sound. Working Ethernet (firmware updates) and USB ports. (I haven't had to download any firmware or code updates, but I'm sure it'll work fine.)
No fan noise, no noise while playing, but during menu & loading, I hear some track-seeking which is audible at 5 feet. Nothing too unpleasant. A great unit for the price.

Got it for an older friend who was a bit skeptical about the blu-ray technology. After he got it, he noticed a huge difference and is hooked. And if he's hooked, that's good enough for me, since he's a picky kind of guy.
