Advantages: Fantastic Image and Sound Quality, Great Price Point Disadvantages: No HDMI Cable Included But Otherwise Nothing
I purchased the Sony BD S-350 around 2 to 3 months ago and i must say i have zero regrets, im even using it as i write this! The picture is truly stunning with titles such as Casino Royal been the ones you would want to show off due to the amazing contrast between colors and the brilliant clarity with every hair on a head been refined in detail and skin tones sharp and natural. The major factor in my purchase was the price as this was 149.99 GBP ... ...experience with and this is no exception due to the flawless menus, much like the PS3 cross bar which is easy to navigate and perfect working order iv never experience one problem with my unit. Unfortunately it does not come with a HDMI cable but these are very cheap no. Another point to make note of is do not be fooled into buying high price HDMI cables and a HDMI cable is digital and there for only transmits 1 and 0s unlike analogue equipment and ...
Advantages: Vibrant picture, reasonable price. Disadvantages: Some 'jerkiness'. Limited SD Card and Divx capability. Some expected formats not accepted.
...only video with the specific Panasonic AVCHD structure. And finally although the player is DIVx compatible it will only play these from DVD-R (not R/W) and CD-R (not R/W).

Great on blu ray – Planet Earth series. ...

Cons: The set up menu is always on and on the sony website changes the product description several times so far. ...

Advantages: Crisp and clear picture quality (its a blu-ray!) Disadvantages: A long list of unplayable disc formats.
...use. My favorite thing is annoying the neighbours when it starts up! Its makes a very loud and sharp noise that goes "ding ding!" and the Samsung logo comes up on the screen. I got mine from Currys and it came with 2 free Blu-ray dvds, so thats a bonus! ...
