Sony BDP-S360 Blu-ray Player – (A Great Entry-Level Blu-ray Player)
Released in 2009, the BDP-S360 from Sony is a great entry level Blu-ray Player. While it does not provide any features beyond the basics, the BDP-S360 is a Profile 2.0 player that supports BD-Live Content, Bonus View(PIP) and has excellent image and audio quality. Lacking online internet streaming media services, Wi-Fi connectivity or DLNA support, the BDP-S360 focuses all its attention on High Definition Blu-ray and DVD playback. You will have to look elsewhere if you want extra features.
Small in its design, the BDP-S360 is only 16.9 inches wide by 2.2 inches high and 8.1 inches in depth. It is a combination of a sleek glossy finish with touches of conservative elements. It will not be a standout feature in your Home Entertainment theater, but should blend in nicely. The dark, glass like front panel flips open, revealing the disc loading tray. The player itself does not have many controls, you will have to use the Remote Control to navigate the player’s operations. The remote is easy to use but does not have a Open/Close button which might not appeal to some consumers. A universal remote can be used to remedy this as the BDP-S360 will support receiving an Open/Close IR command.
