Sony has just launched two brand new Blu-ray players, BDP-S350 and BDP-S550. These players support the BonusView featured on some of the new Blu-ray disc theatrical releases.

The BDP-S350 model is BD-Live ready with an Ethernet port for easy firmware updates and access to extra content features in the Internet. The BSP-S550 is BonusView ready and BD-Live capable.

Both players have an external port for local storage which lets users add optional storage devices. Also, both players feature 1080/60p and 24p True Cinema Output. They are also compatible with most standard DVDs.

In addition to these, both models offer 7.1 channel Dolby True HD and Dolby Digital Plus decoding and bit-stream output, dts-HD high resolution audio and master audio bit-stream output.

The BDP-S550 will be shipped with a 1GB storage device and will be ready for consumers this fall for US$ 500. The BDP-S350 is set to be released this summer for about US$ 400 without the storage device.
