Well Done Sony

What can I say. Ive always bought SONY DvD players as they are well made and really up to the job.
The picture quality is excellent and you have so much flexibility in tuning the picture and audio outputs.
I'm very impressed with the upscailer that's built into this unit. Ivey an older DVD Sony upscailer but this does a better job.
I'm only using 2 channel audio until I get an Amp but the audio is excellent quality, clear and precise.
1GB Micro Vault is included but do not see why you can not connect any USB Storage if you need to download extra content from the BD Live Service.
Firmware upgrades are easy and simple.
The Menu system is the same as the PS3 and is very simple to use.
The remote can also be used to control your TV with the codes supplied in the manual.
The unit is very swish and proud to shop it off
Multi-region Player?

I've heard that this player and the S350 are also multi region players. Is this true anyone?
