Help with getting bd-live on sony s350

[frobe89]

i just bought a sony bdp s350 today. I have an xbox 360 in my room also and I run a cable from my room to the router in the next room over. so i unplugged the cable from the x box and put it into the blu-ray player. it asked if i wanted to upgrade and i did, but when i try to get on bd-live on the dark knight or iron man it won't let me. can anyone help please?

Did you plug in a 1GB flash drive?... The S350 is Profile 1.1 out of the box, but is upgradable to BD-Live simply by adding a flash drive to the USB port...

oh
no i haven't done that
is that all i need to do because i plugged in the ethernet cable and the symbol on the front of the player that indicates that there is internet connection still doesn't turn on.

You need a 1gb UsbKey at least. Got a 2gb Kingston Data Traveler witch work fine with the recessed Sony S350 Usb Port..

I am planning on getting the 350 since i am not interested in the bd live and just plan to play movies will i need to upgrade the player and what is a flashdrive and what does it do?

you dont need to upgrade the player to play most movies
but some newer titles and even maybe some older ones (3:10 to Yuma for example) may require a update
i had to update to v013 or higher to play that blu on my BX1 (which is a 350 that doesnt decode DTSMA)

so u may come across some titles that u will need to update ur player to watch completely through

Yes, the most important thing is that you buy a flash drive which can fit into the 350's recesed USB port. Look for a model with a body which is just barely larger around the USB plug. Or, buy a USB extension cable (I have one about two feet long) which has the standard male USB plug on one end, and a standard USB female plug on the other. This way, you can just plug the wire into the Sony, and any USB flash drive (at least 1GB) into the other end of the wire.

think i will just buy the 550 but what does the flashdrive do and why is it needed

I recently purchased a 2GB Kingston DataTraveler, and for some odd reason, the player can't recognize the USB after I plugged it in. It can recognize the HDMI, and the Ethernet connection just fine, though.

And I updated the S350 firmware to version 015.



What can I do?
