What are the differences???

I'm going to be upgrading my system at some point with an AV receiver + speakers...

I dont recall all of the differences but I know that I chose the S550 because it had analogue out for HDaudio (I have an old amp that couldnt receive or decode audio via HDMI) and it is also profile 2.0 out of the box, if that is relevant. the S350 can, I believe, be updated to be profile 2.0.

I believe the picture quality was regarded as being the same. If you are getting a new AV receiver then having a blu-ray player that can decode and send HD audio via analogue might not be important to you.

The price is another difference

There are new Sony's due out soon-ish if you wanted the latest versions

DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD decoders, analogue 7.1 channel outputs, Profile 2.0 out of the box, 1GB of built-in memory for BD-Live (as opposed to nothing in the 350), and a backlit remote control.

Sound Quality is an improvement on the 550 and would be my choice but this may depend on price. I would also look at the Pioneer 51, Panasonic range and the up and coming supertest this should give you a little more to go by.
