« Fairly good, but not great »

About the blu ray playback, it is fairly good. DVD pic quality is also better than on a DVD player. But lack of basic features on remote (eject) is a bit of nagging..

« BDP-S360 Eject feature »

Some reviewers report the lack of an Eject button. True but not totally!

While this is true, the 360 is capable of Ejecting if you use a HARMONY Remote and
you configure the Eject command when setting up the HARMONY.

« Blue ray + DVD player »

This is a good product for the money. I conected it to TV by HEMI cable included with the player. The player is very easy to use.

« A good, entry-level Blu-ray player »

Make no mistake; this Blu-ray player is an entry-level player without the bells-and-whistles and faster loading times of more expensive models, but, within the price range, you can't get a better player. It works right out of the box, with only a few minutes of connection and set-up time. Although it cannot stream Netflix, it does have an ethernet port for BD Live and firmware updates. For the energy-conscious, it has two power settings: one for slower load times but less energy consumption, and one that uses more power to load more quickly. If you've never owned a Blu-ray player before, you're likely find both load times disconcerting; however, if you are upgrading one of the earlier Blu-Ray models, which could be excruciatingly slow, you'll find even the energy-efficient load-times to be acceptable.

Although Blu-ray discs are still more difficult to find and are more costly than regular DVDs, I recommend getting a Blu-ray player to allow the option of playing both, especially if you plan to hook this to a 1080p HD television set. Unless you've seen the difference on a 1080p set between traditional DVD and Blu-ray, you won't believe how much crisper a technology Blu-ray is; even the sound is better when played through a home theater system. On a lower-end 720p TV, Blu-ray still looks better, although obviously you won't get the same eye-popping detail.

The model is sleek-looking, thin, and low-profile, allowing it to slide into a relatively small space, although make sure you leave enough air circulation around it to prevent overheating. When ordering, don't forget that you need a separate HDMI cable. Try AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI Cable (9.8 Feet/3.0 Meters) [Supports 3D + Audio Return Channel].

For the price point, this Blu-ray player cannot be beat.
