Sony announced a pair of new Blu-ray players today with advanced interactive features. The new Sony BDP-S350 and the BDP-S550 players both support the BonusView picture-in-picture feature on some of the new Blu-ray discs.

The S350 is BD-Live ready and has an Ethernet port for firmware updates providing Internet content access.

"These new devices bring home movie experience beyond the cinema and into a whole new realm of entertainment."

Both players will provide 7.1 Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus decoding and bit-stream output. The S550 adds dts-HD High Resolution Audio and dts-HD Master Audio. Both support AVCHD discs as well. The S350 will ship this fall for around $400 and the S550 ships this fall for $500.
