Sony BDP-S350 Review

The new Blu-ray player from Sony, the BDP-S350 is certainly causing some waves in the Blu-ray player and home cinema market. Not only is it quite a bit cheaper than the Panasonic BD35 but it is also just as good in terms of performance. Although slightly more expensive than the Samsung BD-P1500, it is the better player so makes the additional expense worthwhile.

The Sony S350 is a budget player, and it is easy to tell when you actually physically use the machine, but construction aside, the performance is absolutely superb. There is much more information, and the current best prices on the DVD Home Cinema website.

The TX-SR506 is the entry level model in the Onkyo range of AV Receivers.

The pros and cons of Online DVD Rental

There appear to be loads of online DVD Rental providers available, but some are most definitely better than others.

Panasonic BD50 Review

At last!

The first proper Profile 2 Blu-ray player has been launched in the form of the Panasonic BD50.

At around £400 though it's not a cheap Blu-ray player, so is it worth getting over something like the cheaper Playstation 3 (also Blu-ray profile 2) or the Samsung P1500 which is less than half the price (although currently only profile 1.1) ?

Juno - a real pleasant surprise

When I first watched Juno, to be honest I wasn't expecting much. But my low expectations probably contributed towards the fact that I ended up really enjoying it. It is very much in the same sort of mould as Little Miss Sunshine, and despite me thinking it would be a bit of a chick flick, found it hugely enjoyable.
