Sony sold a bunch of it’s BDP-S350 Blu-ray players

by Ivan Beres on December 4, 2008

According to Sony the BDP-S350, their low-end BR player, was the No.3 best selling product in the US on Black Friday. In the article David Walstra is trying to convince you that Blu-ray isn’t dead and that you should buy one too because despite the recession and economic uncertainty most of you guys still throw out a bunch of money for “next-generation features that you just won’t get from DVD, downloads or video-on-demand”. If you ask me, I’m happy with my MacBook streaming 1080p to my Xbox.

Another day, another “Blu-Ray is daed” delusion from Crunchgear…

This is most likely due to the OVERWHELMING response and buying from the 150$ deal on the sonystyle website. There were so many orders the site was down for several hours. And, this was 50$ lower than the player had ever been. Apparently, MOST orders WERE SHIPPED even though sony said BACKORDERED after a few hours. So, they had them, the pulled them from stores and shipped to customers and honored the 149$ shipped free deal.

I know my TWO ARRIVED for xmas!!

I bought one for $180 at K-Mart on Turkey day. I would not call the 350 low end – it is pretty damn good for less than 2 bills. I just hope Blu Ray does not go belly up like HD DVD after I bought a player last year on Black Friday.
