Sony BDP-S360

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

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 BDP-S360 review

Blu-ray may have started out as a mess, with confusing "profiles" and painfully slow load times, but beginning this year standalone players have finally gotten their acts together. Sony's entry-level BDP-S360 is typical of the new breed of Blu-ray...

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-S 360

Excellent 24p movie picture., Superb photo playback., Bitstream HD audio., BD-Live.

Slight weaknesses in DVD playback., No USB stick supplied for BD-Live.

In the core discipline — Blu-ray playback — the BDP-S 360 shows no weaknesses, providing a fantastic home-theater experience. What’s more, the player turns out to be quiet and economical, as well as providing easy operation and powerful audio output....

Review Of The Sony BDP-S360 Blu Ray Player

This latest one from Sony offers good replacement to the BDP S350 with a nice decent set of features. With this one, I guess Sony is trying hard to move its standalone players out of the shadow of the PS3 and that too, without burning a hole in the...

Simple User interface, Fantabulous picture quality

No Wi-Fi, slow disk loading, no multichannel outputs

For a £200 player this one gives a power packed performance. However the few missing features compared to its rivals take a toll on this one’s overall value. Add some more cash and you could definitely get a player with features like Wi-Fi and...

Sony BDP-S360 Blu-ray Player

The setup menus are very streamlined, and Sony has eliminated some of the gray areas from its previous player setup menus. You even get a quick setup when you initially start up the player. All of the major settings are broken up into segments, which...

Sony BDP-S360 Blu-ray Player Reviewed

Unlike some of its competitors, Sony has decided not to add streaming video-on-demand to its new entry-level player, the BDP-S360. This Profile 2.0 Blu-ray player offers BD-Live and BonusView support, as well as high-resolution audio decoding....

The BDP-S360 lacks 7.1-channel analog audio outputs, so it's not the best choice for someone who owns an older, non-HDMI A/V receiver ; The player lacks internal memory, so you must add your own USB flash drive. Plus, the USB port doesn't support photo...

In terms of Blu-ray features like BD-Live support and onboard high-resolution audio decoding, the BDP-S360's feature set is on par with other new entry-level players from companies like Panasonic, LG, and Samsung. However, those companies have all...

Sony BDP-S360 Blu-ray player

An entry-level Blu-ray player that fails to stand out from the crowd

Great DVD upscaling and HD video performance, excellent user-interface, responsive remote control

Light on extra features, no front USB port, it's practically the same price as its fancier stable mate

The Sony BDP-S360 is a reasonably priced Blu-ray player that does the basics well. However, the Sony BDP-S560 is also reasonably priced -- and it comes with two USB ports and inbuilt Wi-Fi.
