Good build, not tacky looking, Video performance is very impressive
Load time is not too fast, Could have more features like internet streaming
PerformanceWe threw in Ratatouille and The Last Samurai Blu-ray, and the obvious DVE test Blu-ray. This player, like all its predecessors, is quite a solid renderer, with little or no issues framing or hiccuping at all. The video output was via HDMI to...
Good looks, quick browsing in pop menus, quick simple interface
No YouTube or online video, no USB support, no internal memory for BD Live Content, no DivX support, no eject button on remote
After a long wait we finally received a Blu-ray player from Sony; the BDP-S360. The Blu-ray players we have seen so far have all had a lot of features to offer and their quality too was pretty good when compared the Sony PlayStation 3 as the benchmark....

Profile 2.0-compatible; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential decoding; excellent video quality on most Blu-ray movies.

When you first fire the BDP-S360 up, you'll notice Sony's slick Xcross Media Bar menu system (as seen on the PS3). Unlike most bargain-basement graphics on other media players, the Xcross is a pleasure to use and great for Blu-ray newbies.And when...

Low price; attractive styling; easy to use; great picture quality
Disappointing load times
If you want an entry-level Blu-ray player that does the basics and offers solid picture and sound quality, we can't recommend the Sony BDP-S360 enough. There aren't too many extras, such as networked media-streaming capability or support for hi-def fi...

Abstract: Having recently looked at a LG offering that had Ethernet options, I now see the latest Sony offering the BDP-S360 that also allows Ethernet to play a part. However first and foremost it is a rather nice full featured Blu-ray player....
Limited media support, no USB media playback, clunky disc loading
