Hello.
I have a question about the USB Flash Memory usable with BDP-S350. The memory can be read by the player, or it’s used just as additional memory support for BD Live?

[...] Finally, I wanted to add that I read a review comparing the Sony BDP-S350 to the new Panasonic DMP-BD50K that declares the DMP-BD50K the winner (http://hdguru.com/first-review-of-sonys-latest-blu-ray-player-exclusive-sony-bdp-s350-vspanasonic-dmp-bd50/256/). This may be true, but the almost $300 price difference makes me feel that this is an unfair comparison. In my opinion, the Sony BDP-S350 is currently one of the best deals out there. Finally, Sony Gets It Right, July 26, 2008 My previous Blu-ray player was a Sony until late last year when I purchased a Panasonic DMP-BD30 which had all the latest profile upgrades. The biggest problem with the Sony was its slow loading time. [...]

[...] Re: Sony BDP-S550 Region B UK owners thread. I’ve had my S550 for nearly a week now but think I’ve made a major error of judgment in buying it, not that it’s a real problem as Amazon returns are fairly easy. I thought that the 550 had had the onboard 1GB storage for Profile 2.0 and that the 350 did not have this, but it seems I may be wrong. Apparently the 350 does have the flash socket for an extra 1GB of local storage but doesn’t actually come with the cheapo flash drive to plug in to it, you just buy one, whereas my 550 does come with this external flash drive. So it seems that the only differences between the 350 and 550 are that (and having to update the 350 by F/W to Profile 2.0) and the 7.1 audio out which I don’t need for audio. Does anyone know if the components and chips are the same as the 350, and therefore the PQ? This is what I’m assuming? Also discovered this review of the 350 after I bought the 550, which PQ wise should be exactly the same as the 550? The review is quite critical of the Blu-Ray playback saying that only 50% of the picture is processed properly for Video material with SD being only ‘fair’. Not that we should expect much out of a non-Reon/Realta unit anyway. The review is saying to forget the 350 and go for the Panasonic 55 which wins hands down for PQ and other things. They are comparing a 350 with a BD55 together and if the PQ is identical for the 350 and 550 I’ve made a bad choice. From HDGuru review: ""Blu-ray performance with 1080p/24 Hz content was superb with the player. I rate the BDP-S350 HD performance excellent when viewing 1080p/24 content (movies). With native 1080i content the BDP-S350 performed poorly due to its inability to properly deinterlace and displaying only 50% of the detail at any time. SD DVD upconversion quality is �fair�."" First Review Of Sony�s Latest Blu-ray Player-Exclusive Sony BDP-S350 vs.Panasonic DMP-BD50 � HDGURU.Com In answer to a previous poster further up about why Hi-FI has awarded the BD55 best player for it’s price range, I guess it’s because they don’t need to test the 550 as it’s the same PQ as the 350? Generally tho I’m very pleased with this 550. The Blu-Ray playback seems excellent to me and the SD not TOO bad, but with jaggies everywhere compared to the same DVD playing at the same time in a Reon equipped Toshiba XE1 (beautiful machine). The S550 is nice and compact and COMPLETELY quiet fan wise too Remote is nice looking but poor to use due to floppy buttons and poorly placed buttons, but most ppl have universals anyway. So as I don’t need the 7.1 audio I may as well buy the 350 if the PQ is the same and a cheap USB flash for it? Would appreciate any comments anyone has about all of this especially Kingfats who has a 350 What do you think of the SD comparison between your XE1 and 350?

As others have stated above (but it’s so true), why is this year’s entry-level Sony being put up against the step-up, and $200 more, Panasonic?

If you’ve got a decent receiver, it seems that it’s worth it to save the couple hundred bucks and get the S350. If you’ve got an old receiver, it would be a fairer fight to wait for the S550 to be able to properly compare it to the BD50, both of which look like solid machines.

Otherwise, a good review of both units. Nice to see that BD players are finally speeding up in load times and whatnot. The last generation was painfully slow!
