saw the S550 in the stores...they're still in the box...the thing that caught my eyes is that its MADE IN JAPAN!!

S350 are made in msia.

talked to sony's store personnel...the fella said the DVD region coding on the S350 can be modified to make it region-free....but not the S550.

only the DVD region coding..not the BD...which to me is a plus too...because it can replace my old dvd player

Which store is it? And how much? The S350 still RM2499?

I bet Sony S350 will be cheaper after Panny launched its BD50 here in Mid Nov

Bro, will we see BD-35 anytime soon? We don't need internal decoding players, bitstream is enough so our AV receiver can do it. tongue.gif

anyone know differences btwn the S350 and S550?

i only know the HD audio decoding part....anything else?

Internal DAC with multi-channel analogue outs. This is not possible with players that can't do internal decoding.

Really important for those with old AV receivers without HDMI.

Pioneer launched its BDP-51FD here, which is below S350 price.
