Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Add the BDP-S360 to your home theatre system to enjoy the breathtaking picture and sound that only Blu-ray can deliver. This player lets you watch video in "Full HD" 1080p resolution, for extraordinary depth and detail with compatible HDTVs. And Sony's advanced Precision Cinema HD processing gives you a remarkably clean picture with your DVDs, too.

If you have a home theatre receiver with an HDMI input, you can enjoy master-quality surround sound from Blu-ray movies with Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks. Compared to DVD, you'll hear fuller sound with greater clarity and dynamics. You can also pop in a CD to enjoy your favourite music, whether it's a regular CD, a home-burned disc, or one filled with MP3 files.

The BDP-S360 supports the BonusView and BD-Live features found on a growing number of Blu-ray movies. BonusView displays directors' commentaries and behind-the-scenes footage in a small inset window while the movie continues to play. BD-Live lets you use your broadband Internet connection to access additional bonus features like online games, chat, and downloadable movie trailers. Just plug a thumb drive into the player's USB port to save downloaded material.

Ehh! August-22-10
Reviewer: Rick from NY,NY  
The slow load times and eject button doesn't bother me.  It takes about 20
seconds to load the Blu-Ray.  However, I have been getting Blu-Rays from
Netflix, and so far I had nothing but problems playing them.  2 for 2 did not
work.  They would freeze up or take about 2 minutes to load.  It would get to
the menu screen, I press play, and nothing.  I have the latest update installed.


 
Problems June-07-10
Reviewer: Dick from Knoxville TN  
I bought this player last year because I love watching movies in BR. The picture and sound is great. The problem is when I play BR Disks that 3 out of 5 disk either stop at the beginning or somewhere before the end of the movie this gets on your nerves and also you miss some of the movie and you don't know how much you miss or what.


 
SLOW April-25-10
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Dallas Texas

Fine enough April-18-10
Reviewer: Josh from Maine  
Works fine, good picture.
Sooooooo slow to open, I have to anticipate when my two year old wants to watch a movie cause by the time it opens and loads shes ticked!
I wish that I could have it connect to the internet wirelessly with out paying so much for it.


 
Good in some ways, not so much in others February-12-10
Reviewer: MuBtafa from Midland, MI  
Yes, BD players are slow to load.  Fine, I can live with that.  But why did my 5-year-old Sony DVD player have the ability to remember the last play position of the last 50 (!) disks I had watched, while this technological wonder can't remember a single one if you take the disk out of the player?

Also, I have a 42" Sony HDTV (KDF-42E2000) which maxes out at 720p.  So, in my experience, if you cannot do 1080p on your TV/display, Blu-Ray is money wasted.  I honestly couldn't see a lick of difference between BD and regular DVD movies.  And believe me, I tried, seeing as how I was doing my best to justify this purchase to my wife.  Alas, I failed miserably, and ended up selling it, buying a Sony DVD player with an HDMI output, and losing about $150 dollars in the deal - when I bought this, it was a $350 unit.  Over the course of one month, it dropped to the price you see here.
