Anyone heard when the S360 and S560 are going to be available in the UK? Last I read was "probably in the summer". Which is kind of is, now.

I have this morning received and set up my S550. As a previous post said the 360 is just out but the alas waiting for the 560 to appear would have needed a little more patience than I had.
Sadly I needed the multi outs & onboard decoding, which neither the 350 or 360 have.
From the little I have read it seems the 360 & 560 have Wi-Fi network capabilities built in. It was not something I needed but would have been a nice bonus.
I am also a little sceptical of the rumoured price tag of the 560 (£250). If it is, then it should be a great player for the price.
The 360 is the 350 replacement ---- the 560 is the 360 with wireless connectivity (and no analogue outs ---- way to confuse, hey!).
There was I thinking the 560 was the 550's replacement QUOTE]
As I'm sure many others will too ---- Well done Sony ---- you've gone to the top of the, 'lets cause confusion' class!
S360 should be due real soon.
July=BDP-S360=Entry player BD live
October=BDP-S560=BD live,Wireless Lan
October=BDP-S760=BD live,wireless Lan,DNLA,7.1ch out,SBM
So the S360 is really no different to the S550?? Or am I missing something?
The 560 does interest me though with the wireless connection.
Do you think this would be much of an upgread over the S550?
Any pics of this model anywhere yet or any indication of price?
If I am now understanding correctly the S560 is the same as a S360 but has wireless networking.
I think William means that both player boths are the same except the wireless function on the 560.
Yes, misread that. Sorry.

I think I'll be sticking with the 550 unless there's any improvement PQ or SQ wise. Which I doubt there will be.
Has anyone tried the S360 yet ? any veiws on picture processing quality ? The fact it doesn't have wireless connectivity wouldn't be a problem for me.
I've got both (in London) and they are pretty much the same.
The only reason I bought the 360 was for the DTS-MA.
I'm think there may be a slight improvement on DVD playback, but then again it might just be my mind convincing me of that!
The load times are definatly faster, and generally the player feels a little more slick. IMO it also looks cooler! Is this worth the extra £100 you are likely to pay? Not unless you need your player to be able to decode DTS-MA. I have an HTIS100 so the S350 was missing that vital decoding, never mind, now I have blu ray in the bedroom as well!!
