I wanted a lower end bluray player to replace an old DVD player so I could watch prerecorded high def movies on my new Sony HDTV. From the first day, the Sony s360 was unreliable. Though easy to connect and use, about 1/3 of the time it fails to either load or finish playing without some sort of audio/video malfunction. This happens not only with regular DVDs but also with bluray movies. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the problem since very often movies that will load one night, will not load or play properly the next. The sound problem can often be fixed by ejecting and reloading the disc, and then manually searching for the scene where you want to resume play. While a hassle, at least you can watch the film. However, there is no fix if the disc won't load. Give up and go for a walk.

If your Sony is unreliable and within the one year manufacturer's warranty you can get a free refurbished unit. I did not know this, and since I am two weeks past the warranty date, I must pay $123+tax. Since I can buy a new bluray player from a different manufacturer for a little more than that, I am going to go in that direction.

Summary: Don't buy -- it failed in a short time
Rating: 1
I received the Sony BDP-S360 player in mid-February and used it for both Blu-ray and regular DVD discs. The picture quality is OK, but disc loading time is glacially slow. Given the relatively low price I paid for the player, I could live with the slowness. What I can't live with is that the player failed by the end of June, four and a half months after I received it. The tray no longer will open and all I get is a message saying "D ERROR." The "D" stands for disc, but also stands for "DON'T BUY."

The player arrived and I set it up according to the manual's instructions. It worked fine for a few months. I never moved the player or did anything other than insert and remove discs. It suddenly stopped working. It turns on but reads "system error."
I have never had something breakdown like this (less than a year). I paid a premium price because of the SONY brand name and I am sorely disappointed in the product.
Go with a cheaper make and model. They will probably work better and even if they do fail, you will not feel like a sucker!!

In my opinion, this product is the best out there. It plays beautifuly everything I put in it. What else can I say, I absolutely love it. There isn't anything that I don't like about it. Thanx, Sony. It's a great product.
