sony bdp-s350 vs. s360. Does anyone know the difference? I assume the 360 is a new and improved model, but it's going at a giveaway price of $159 compared to the 350 listed here (almost $400).

the $400 list price is some idiot.. the S350 is no longer supported and so it won't be listed at regular retail prices. you could try finding it cheaper than the S360 on ebay, although the S360 might be the better deal now unless you want the blue foil front of the 350.

Actually, it looks to me like the 360 is not only the less expensive but the better, improved, and more compact model. The inflated price of the 350 is most likely attributable to its being out of production.

Check your local Bestbuy they may have a few in stock as I have seen many just weeks ago.

Let's hope so Monteee - as you know, there are receivers that cost a lot more with far less features as standard on the 920. As I stated in my reply to D Patterson "The Sony ES2400 is about the nearest unit you will find close to the 920 specs and capabilities." Today I see the ES2400 available on Amazon at $599.00 (slashed from $799.00) - kind of a coincidence as that was the retail price initially for the 920 when it was released. I'm feeling good as I bought my 920 just before Thanksgiving Day 2008 for $378.00 and free shipping.

You'll find another Amazon discussion thread about the BD35 being discontinued, which probably has something to do with it too. The 55 is now Panasonic's only (or main, at least) Blu-ray player on the market, until they release three new models in March or April.I am bummed about this new pricing too. I ordered a 55 on Christmas Day from an online vendor for $305, then ten days later they cancelled my order, saying they were "oversold" and suddenly everyone is selling it for $399 or more. I'm gonna wait...

Hi, You have been very informative. Which would you recommend: the p4400 or the p4460? Or is another product (under $25.00) better? I live in a delivery cost area, and am fairly careful already, so my likely savings will be less than $100 per year -- so I want to keep the cost of this item low.

How big of a difference is the picture with the glitch when watching a BD? I am strongly leaning towards buying this TV. If this is only a minor flaw I am going to buy it, I just don't see paying $700 more dollars for the 860 just for this glitch. Is watching BD without cinema smooth that much of a difference? Thank you.

Bump. I'm in the same boat, don't care too much about 3D, just picture quality. Is the ST30 significantly better PQ than the S30?And just to confirm, the ST30 comes with the WiFi adapter while the S30 does not, right?

You know i just realized this is a forum for the 720p model - I already have a 720p hdtv and I'm actually looking at the 1080p model. Looking for that one to drop another $100 (hint hint Amazon) before I jump in to get one.

I would expect that the closer you get to Black Friday the better the price will be become. I am keeping a close eye on this model myself. Just this past weekend it went from $1009 to $1004 to $999 in the span of a day or 2. Not much of a decline but a downward trend. If you can wait Amazon may have this a Black Friday special. If not the price should still be lower than it is now. Hope this helps!

thanks for the info. Do you think the sound quality is as good on the 325 as the 350? Obviously the size of the unit is bigger on the 325 but I was wondering if this is the only difference?

Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO. The lowest price I have seen here at Amazon was $2940.00 USD a while back. Which is what I got it for. Since folks have been buying it, and the ratings continue to be 4.75+ stars, the price has been creeping up towards what the local BB and CC are charging for it ($3800+ in my area). I think once the 71 and 81 series hit the streets, this one will drop for sure. But until that time, this one is top dog, at least in my house. The picture maxed out in 1080P will just blow you away!!

I'd have to disagree with rebel 116 there. Not so much about the dwindling worth of the $ (although actually has been somewhat rising in the past couple of weeks), but about whether to wait or not. My advice would be to wait. I recently read a study report that says the prices of HDTV's, blu-ray players and the like will be dropping like a stone as the holidays get closer. And actually, I've already seen some of this price drop. I've been planning on buying the Sony BDP-s350 blu-ray player, since it's pretty much the highest rated VS price value BR player out right now. (I've been watching it at theNerds.com, sorry Amazon, but they have the cheapest price) The price has dropped almost $80 since I last checked it! (Now only $243) These trends are predicted to continue through the holidays into early next year, so I'd wait for that bonus and get one awesome TV and maybe have some $ left over in the bargain!

$300+ price difference between SD1400 and S90 or S95. I'll stick with SD1400 for my usage.

Just bought the KDL46-Z4100 B online for $1687 with no tax and no delivery. You just have to wait and do your research. The prices really dipped immediately after Christmas and there is apparently an LCD screen oversupply in the market so prices will likely dip a bit before coming back up. Also, Sony is in the process of really trying to penetrate the market with the XBR series so the prices are coming down on the models lower on the "depth chart".

There is no difference, just no amazon sellers offering a good price right now, I paid 349 on amazon for mine, be patient they will come back... good luck

This is basically backordered everywhere. Check out all the buying options, there are still some for sale at $799, but get them quickly since they're in super high demand! I was able to get one from Camera Land here on Amazon for $799 just the other day, and I'm now waiting for it in the mail.

There's a promotion going for the LN46B750. Amazon is currently selling it for $1,999.99. Input coupon code, "SAMTV300" and it drops to $1,699.99. I'm pissed because yesterday I picked up an LN46A860 from Crutchfield for $1,579.99 with 1% FW cashback. It already shipped, bleh. Specs wise, seems like everything is the same except that the LN46B750 introduces 240Hz motion and Internet@TV (Yahoo!, YouTube, Flickr, etc.). Also, the LN46B750 has a charcoal ToC while the LN46A860 has a dark blue one. Moreover, I haven't come across a review that details the performance of the 240Hz motion.

The 360 IS a better unit!! Supply and demand?? Which sellers and etc...many things determine price. However the 360 IS a better unit. Even if you have no plans to use the bluetooth why not buy the cheaper and better unit, which is the 360? I also suspect that most WILL use the bluetooth. I have several cell phones and PDA's and several different bluetooth units such as the wireless ear unit, wireless geadset and etc....I did not think I would use the bluetooth on the 360.....now I almost cant see not having it. No more headsets, no more weird things on my ear. I use the bluetooth in my home, office, car, almost anywhere I go or anywhere I am at. It works so good you do not ever have to touch the unit or the phone as the vlice commands work excellent. If you are using the bluetooth and NOT the GPS, the GPS is auto-off with the flip-ten down. So leave the Flip-set down and GPS is off and you'll get about 12 hours of bluetooth ability before the battery even starts to drain.Great for in the home or office or any place you are not using GPS. If you are using GPS and bluetooth then you'll simply use a little more battery, but the GPS works flawlessly while also using bluetooth and vice-versa.....
