Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Bring the full High Definition cinema experience into your living room with the S360 Blu-ray Disc™ player. Blu-ray Discs™ can store up to five times more detail than DVD, so you’ll see more of the picture than ever before. The option of 24 frame output means you can enjoy movies exactly as the director intended. The same goes for sound, with the S360 capable of delivering up to 7.1 channel sound direct to your speaker system. And there’s more. Connect the S360 to the internet and BD-Live gives you access to exclusive online content, including trailers, interviews, games and more.

1920x1080 line resolution – bringing the ultimate in crisp and fluid images to your screen

Cinematic picture quality
If you thought DVD pictures looked great compared to conventional TV broadcasts, take a look at the difference the S360 Blu-ray Disc™ Player will make to your viewing experience. Blu-ray Disc™ records and plays back digital data at 40 megabits a second, it can display Full HD images at 1920 x 1080 line resolution with progressive scanning. And that means the S360 brings the ultimate in crisp and fluid images to your screen. New Precision Cinema HD Upscale technology will convert the standard-definition signals of your DVDs to the full HD 1080 equivalent, so you get the best out of your complete movie library.

24p True Cinema for the big screen experience
With 24p True Cinema technology you can sit back and enjoy movies exactly as the director filmed them, at 24 frames a second. Until now, if you watched a movie at home you’d see it played back faster than at the cinema because standard TVs deliver images at 25 frames a second. Selecting 24p True Cinema means viewing is smooth and sharp, so you can take in the real big screen experience.

Exclusive online movie extras with BD-Live
BD-Live enables you to access a range of exciting online services for a rich interactive home entertainment experience. Connect the S360 via an ethernet cable to the internet, install the latest firmware upgrade to your player, and you’re ready to join online blogs, enter competitions, and play games. You can also download exclusive content from a special website dedicated to the movie you’re watching, including trailers, interviews and other special features.

Brilliant colour and master-quality sound
The incredible detail delivered by Blu-Ray Disc™ is enhanced by x.v.Colour technology, which almost doubles the range of colours that can be accurately reproduced on screen. The result is colour that’s as true as the eye can see, with more natural, vivid reds, blues and greens for brilliantly life-like images. Plug the S360 into your HD ready TV using an HDMI™ cable and see how closely the pictures match real life. That goes for sound too. The S360 can accommodate a vast range of audio formats, from stereo right up to uncompressed 7.1 multichannel surround which presents master-quality music and sound through the best possible playback.

Getting it all together with BRAVIA Sync
If your TV is a BRAVIA you’ll be able to control your entire home cinema set-up with just one click of the TV remote, thanks to BRAVIA sync. The remote’s designed to be clear and easy to use, and puts a world of options at your fingertips. Connect your S360 to your BRAVIA TV via HDMI™, and start your movie simply by pressing play. Just one more way to get more out of your Sony products.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Blue-Ray novice, 26 Nov 2009
    This review is from: Sony BDPS360 Profile 2.0 Blu-ray Player with BD Live (Electronics)
    I bought this product on the strength of the customer reviews and have not regretted it. This is my first Blue-Ray player and as I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about or whether I would notice much of a difference compared to my current DVD player. Having now played both DVD and Blue-Ray discs I can honestly say that its a cracking piece of kit. I notice the price is even lower as I write this review (but I'm not bitter) from when I purchased the item which makes it even more of a bargain. If like me you are toying with the idea of purchasing your first Blue-ray player I'd highly recommend this one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars First foray into Blu ray, 24 Sep 2009
    This review is from: Sony BDPS360 Profile 2.0 Blu-ray Player with BD Live (Electronics)
    I had been looking around for a while for a Blu ray player to go with a Samsung LCD TV and had initially wanted to stay with Samsung for the commonality of remote etc.
    But having read positive reviews of this player on a good few sites and Amazon's cracking price I opted to go for this one.

    The unit is nice and compact and looks high quality. Plugged the HDMI lead (not supplied# into this and the TV, a patch cable #not supplied# to my router and a memory stick #not supplied) for BD Live features. The setup process was straight forward and done in minutes. You need the internet connection and external storage if you want to use the BD Live on some disks. Also the memory stick socket is in the back so it's just as well to put one in when setting up, they recommend 1GB minimum.

    Without any further setting up the Samsung TV and Sony player recognised each other and as soon as the disk went in the TV switched input and displayed up 1080p 24fps. Also you can program the Sony remote to work the on/off and volume on most mainstream TV brands so you can leave the TV remote on the shelf.

    Watched a few films so far and the detail/definition is WOW, as good as they make it out to be, I have not felt compelled to fiddle with any settings at all.
    The level of detail on buildings on sweeping landscape scenes and close up shots of peoples faces is incredible.
    CGI animation such as Star Wars - The Clone Wars is so defined, no fuzzy edges also just as impressive.

    Worth every penny if you have shelled out for a HDTV!

    4.0 out of 5 stars BluRay cures the blues, 14 Oct 2009
    By Terence C. Chilvers (Suffolk, England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Sony BDPS360 Profile 2.0 Blu-ray Player with BD Live (Electronics)
    At 82 I thought it was time to see what all the fuss about BluRay and HD was really about. I oredered the Sony BDPS360B and in usual Amazon service it was with me extraordinarily quickly. I set about unpacking and being a technophobe was wary about setting it up. It was easy and the instructions actually made sense. Very soon I was able to watch an old holiday DVD of mine. Who were these people with crystal clear faces and how long had I had those wrinkles!!

    When I purchased a BluRay disc and played that I thought my lounge was being invaded by wildlife - so good was the reproduction. Why did I have to wait 82 years to witness this and what's next for me?
