Sony targets Blu-ray virgins with its new entry level BDP-S360 player.
Expert review by : Danny Phillips (techradar.com)
Sony's budget Blu-ray deck has a basic spec, but striking pictures
User interface ; Picture quality
No built-in memory or multichannel outputs ; Won't play media via USB ; Slow disc loading
If you want snazzy features look elsewhere, otherwise impressive pictures and a smart operating system save the day
Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
Sony adds another Blu-ray player to its range, and with this kind of performance and pricing, it's a welcome addition too
Smooth operator thanks in part to Xross Media Bar ; solid spec ; silky smooth motion and bold colours with DVD and Blu-ray ; fast, exciting sound
You can pay a bit more to get a touch more detail in audio and video
It’s nigh-on impossible to gripe with what’s on offer here for £240

If the recession has eaten into your Blu-ray player budget then all is not lost - there are some great-value decks on the market that deliver the high-def basics without making a large dent in your savings. We've already looked at the Samsung BD-P1600...
Rich detailed pictures, BD Live, operating system
Limited media support, no USB media playback, clunky disc loading
If you’re looking for your first Blu-ray player then the BDP-S360 is a definite candidate for your cash. The feature list is unduly sparse, but its user-friendly operating system, BD Live support and solid picture quality just about make it money well...

If there's one criticism we can level at the Blu-ray format, it's that it's just too expensive to tempt most people away from DVDs. Although Blu-ray's picture and sound quality is miles ahead, most people think the quality of their standard-definition...
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...

Profile 2.0 is naturally supported, along with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. However, a lack of extra features and a handful of minor design glitches have brought down the overall quality of the product. The Sony BDP-S360 is certainly not a bad...
The Sony BDP-S360 is a reasonably priced Blu-ray player that does the basics well. However, the Sony BDP-S560 is also reasonably priced - and it comes with two USB ports and inbuilt Wi-Fi.

The first of Sony's new BD players to land, can the BDP-S360 win us over with its performance and price?
It's nigh-on impossible to gripe with what's on offer here for the money
Expert review by (channel5.com)
The Sony BDP-S360 is a tweaked follow-up to the BDP-S350, and sports all the Blu-ray goodies you'd expect from Sony, including support for BD Live.It's also pitched at a very reasonable price-point – making buying into Blu-ray a much more palatable...
If you're looking for an affordable Blu-ray player with a dazzling performance and aren't bothered about extras, then look no further than the BDP-S360. Sony BDP-S360 is tagged with Blu-Ray and Sony BDP-S360. Select a tag (Blu-Ray, for example) to find...
Expert review by : paul_smart (gadgetspeak.com)
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.
The BDP-S360 measures 43x22x5.5cm and weights less than two kilos. It is matt black with the exception of the drop down front and top front edge that are both shiny black plastic that of course shows every finger mark. Somewhat surprisingly you do have...
Expert review by : James Morris (wired.co.uk)
Sony's BDP-S300 series of Blu-ray players have been showing that great image quality can still be had on a budget for some years now. The BDP-S350 launched in 2008 was a particular highlight. Now the S360 updates the range, including a host of new...
Another budget player which punches above its price for image quality
No wi-fi, no built in memory, no 7.1 analog outputs, USB connectivity only for BD-Live
