Pan bd60 Vs Sony Bds360

jaymac · 09-08-2009, 11:37 AM

Torn twixt the Pan bd60 and the Sony bds 360 Both going for £200 MR at richer sounds .The panny is around that price anywhere non multi region but the Sony can be got for £165. Never needed MR so really only concerned which is considered the better notwithstanding the sony's price advantage. Seems quite a few BD60 owners and very few Sony360 owners is the only guage at the moment

Hi.

The 360's only just come out so not that all many owners at the moment i'm afraid.
Feedback has been very good so far on the player though. (some info here)
Cheers.

You won't be disappointed with either really. Sony remote doesn't have an 'eject' button (if you can't live with that!). I was in a similar dilemma but went for the Panasonic as I got a brand new one on ebay for £159. My friend has the Sony S360. There's no noticeable difference in picture quality between the two. Sony is a bit faster in loading discs though.

Was that a new BD 60? I'can live without the remote opening but not sure about the lack of fast forward /rewind which I think the sony dont have Aaaargh!

Fast forward /rewind is no problem with the Sony.

Yes, that was a new BD60 with manufacturer's warranty.

I think I was just plain lucky, can't find the offer anymore.
