Those waiting for the next generation of Blu-ray players, here you go: Sony's got two new ones for you today, the BDP-S350 and BDP-S550. Both feature BD-Live (and thus Ethernet) and USB (for external) storage and PiP (BonusView), while the S550 has 7.1 discrete analog outputs and 1GB of onboard storage. As for the rest of the specs, well, expect TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus (and DTS-HD MA & HR in the S550), AVCHD and xvYCC color support, and, of course 1080 60/24p. The S350 will hit for $400 this summer, while the S550 will run you $500 this fall.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="/photos/sony-announces-bdp-s350-bdp-s550-first-new-blu-ray-players-since-the-fall-of-hd-dvd-1/">Sony announces BDP-S350, BDP-S550: first new Blu-ray players since the fall of HD DVD</a></strong></p><a href="/photos/sony-announces-bdp-s350-bdp-s550-first-new-blu-ray-players-since-the-fall-of-hd-dvd-1/663104/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgethd.com/media/2008/02/sony-bdp-s350-big_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="/photos/sony-announces-bdp-s350-bdp-s550-first-new-blu-ray-players-since-the-fall-of-hd-dvd-1/663105/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgethd.com/media/2008/02/sony-bdp-s550-big_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/26/sony-announces-bdp-s350-bdp-s550-first-new-blu-ray-players-sin/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/forward/1124605/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&fc=1&url=http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/26/sony-announces-bdp-s350-bdp-s550-first-new-blu-ray-players-sin/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking Blogs</a> | <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/26/sony-announces-bdp-s350-bdp-s550-first-new-blu-ray-players-sin/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_65-1124605"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/65-1124605?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_65-1124605" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&client=ca-aol_weblogs_xml&channel=Engadget_Mobile_07_RSS&output=png&cuid=65-1124605&url=http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/26/sony-announces-bdp-s350-bdp-s550-first-new-blu-ray-players-sin/" /></p>
