Sony BDP-S360 DVD Player

I eagerly awaited the arrival of this player, and was not disappointed.
First thing that hits you is the size compared to the S300, it is lower, and not half as deep.
Also, the colour is a better shiny black than the old blue-black of the S300. This matches in better with Sony's current range of surround sound systems, so gives it a more integrated look.
The remote, however, looks very plasticky, and is not the standard usually expected from Sony.
Connectivity is just as before, with the added bonus of the BD live, which apparently means you can upgrade via a LAN connection if you have that option.

But the big news is the quicker load/start up. It is quicker than the S300 in normal mode. There is an option in the menu when you first set it up for an even quicker start. However, it comes with a warning that this burns more power, and the fans run quicker from start up, so I have selected not to use this at this moment.
Picture quality is as expected.

Easy to use. You can operate the TV through the HDMI cable link throu and operate the Blu-ray fromthe TV which is handy. This is one of the quicker players to start up but its still a chore to wait for it to boot up.

This is my first Blu-Ray player. Performance seems ok - does what it says on the tin. Not sure how it could do better when outputting in an industry standard digital format?

Upsides - low cost, good quality product, multi-region DVD available (NOT Blu Ray), easy to set-up and use.
Downsides - very slow start up and disc loading. This may be common to Blu-Ray, but it's very slow compared to a DVD-only box.

EXCELLENT. LOVE IT .QUALITY PRODUCT . CHEAP PRICE.10 OUT OF 10.SLEEK LOOKS. CRACKING PICTURE. COUPLED WITH SONY 40 " LCD TV. ITS A BELTER.
ONLY RECCOMENDATION , BUY A GOOD QUALITY HDMI CABLE APPROX £50 BUT WORTH IT.
FOR THE MONEY YOU CANT GO WRONG.
