Default Which should I get?

So I'm getting a blu-ray player and am debating between the Samsung BD-P1500 and SONY BDP-S350. Which should I get? The only thing I've noticed that is different is the way the audio is done. I'm just on a 32" w/ 5.1 audio hooked up. So what's my best bet?

Thank You

How do/would you have the player connected to the receiver and what receiver are you using?

I would take the Sony 350 between those two. But both would do the job.

+1. Need to know how you're connecting it before I recommend one.

Sony, hands-down. Sony>Samsung in everything. Samsung players have been buggy (at times).

I stick by sony. I have one of the worst players ever (The BDP 3-305) and they have done everything they can to make it as good as it can be with firmware upgrades and now it is light years ahead of where it was when I bought it. If they put that kind of support behind the older models, imagine what YOU are going to get.

I have BD-P1500 Sammy in my bedroom. Its slow as hell! Maybe I'm just spoiled by my PS3. I haven't upgraded the firmware yet, so hopefully that helps, but I've also noticed that it won't play any of my burned dvd's! I'd say go with the Sony. Its supposed to be pretty fast compared to most players save for the PS3, and you can expect better support from Sony.
