Sony BDP-S360

By (cnet.com)

Profile 2.0-compatible ; onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential ; excellent video quality on most Blu-ray movies

Cannot access streaming video services such as Netflix ; no Wi-Fi option ; no eject button on the remote ; relatively slow load times ; recessed USB port

The Sony BDP-S360 handles all the Blu-ray basics with ease, but it lacks the streaming Internet content found on competing models.

Sony BDP-S360

By Robert Heron (pcmag.com)

Sony's BDP-S360 Blu-ray player ($299.99 list) is a fine example of getting more for less. It delivers even better picture quality than its predecessor, the excellent BDP-S350, yet the S360's price is $100 lower. A few sacrifices were made: You won't ...

Excellent standard DVD upconversion. Very energy-efficient

Quick Start feature increases power consumption. Optional memory required for BD-Live support. No streaming multimedia features

Sony's most affordable Blu-ray player, the energy-efficient BDP-S360 delivers stellar picture quality with both high- and standard-definition discs.

Apart from the missing eject button on the remote, I have few complaints...

Flawed Player, Let's Hope Sony Fixes Shortcomings

By susanna (sonystyle.com)

"Sony really needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. Why on earth do companies like this design and then manufacture products without apparently ever ONCE testing it among actual users, getting their feedback, and then fixing the usabiility fla...

Probably one of the best Blu-Ray players on the market

That's not saying all that much, since most competitors' models are even worse

wirless internet connection

By User5 (sonystyle.com)

"Great image, beautiful picture. Would like to use the BD-live features but how do you connect to a wireless internet with an RJ45 lan port? Not a lot of helpful information on this."

Great player
