    I had pretty much decided to go with the Sony 350 (depending on sales this Christmas) but now am leaning toward the Panasonic BD55. Same MSRP but you pick up the 7.1 analog outputs plus the review in November Sound & Vision is a great one. According to the review the up conversion on the 55 is excellent and that is very important to me. I have a ton of DVD's that I would not replace with BR.
    Sony 60'' SXRD 1080p
    Amp = Carver AV-705THX 5-Channel
    Processor = NAD T747
    Panasonic BD35 Blu-Ray
    Main = SDA-1C Studio with RD0s, spikes, XO rebuild, rings, I/C upgrade
    Center=Polk CS10, Surround = Athena Dipoles, Sub= Boston 12HO
    Music/Video Streaming = Netgear NEO550
    TT = Audio Technica

    The black friday deals are slowly trickling in. TGIblackfriday.com has the s350 at Sears for $179.99 on black friday. Just FYI...

    I just like Panasonic and went with the '35. Both are good players.
