Sony BDP-S550 1080p Blu-ray Player

Overall Rating:

Retail Price: $399.99

Amazon Price: $316.00

The bad: PlayStation 3 may still offer a better value for some buyers; competing players offer more features or lower prices.

The bottom line: The Sony BDP-S550 offers excellent image quality and a solid feature set, but only consider it if you need the multichannel analog outputs.
