Pros:
Excellent Picture and Sound quality. Excellent build and design. Very fast and really quiet, can't even hear it in a silent room. BD-Live and Firmware update(s) are a plus. Upconversion looks pretty good too.
Cons:
Price is a bit expensive. It’s still one of the fastest blu-ray players I've seen, but someone with little patience may find it a bit slow sometimes.
Review:
I recently had the BDP-S350, and wanted a better player. Best choice I've made in years.
It's better in picture and sound quality than the BDP-350 and especially better than the PS3, and well worth the extra cash. It’s also one of the sexiest blu-ray players I've seen so far.
Got mine on Boxing Day for $300. If you’re looking for an amazing blu-ray player, this is the one to get.
