- This is the WaysToWatch.com Sony BDP-S3500 Blu-ray Player review.
Buy: amzn.to/22hnnUN
This Sony BDPS3500 Blu-ray player with wi-fi (2015 model) also compares to the BDP-S6500. The BDPS3500 is a simple, straight forward Blu-ray player with the ability to stream movies. It doesn’t play 3D Blu-ray disc nor does it upscale to 4K. The BDP-S3500 has an HDMI jack, a digital audio jack and an ethernet connection. And on the front there is one USB port. The USB port can be used for a thumb drive or a Playstation controller. The small and simple design of the BDP-S3500 will blend in with any audio visual layout. Once you get past the setup process, the User Interface of the BDP-S3500 is super easy to navigate. On your home screen you can add all of the common apps you use regularly.
Sony Blu-ray BDP-S3500 Remote
The remote is the cheapest part of this experience, but it gets the job done. The remote is made of plastic, is lightweight and will fit nicely in small hands.
Sony TV Side View App
Sony’s TV Side View App is a remote app that is available on both Android and iOS devices. While I used the app I had a few issues inputting text, but this app normally works really well.
Sony Blu-ray BDP-S3500 Performance
When I reviewed the BDP-S6500 it was clear that Sony blu-ray players do not play PS3 games well. So, skip this device when it comes to gaming. But when it comes to playing blu-ray disc, it loads blu-ray really fast. Every time I choose to watch a movie on Blu-ray versus streaming it, I am reminded of the much higher quality that comes with Blu-ray disc.
Streaming Apps
With over 80 options, every major streaming service is available on the BDP-S3500, but while trying Netflix it felt slow and sluggish.
Overall, the Sony BDP-S3500 is really for the budget shopper. If you can afford to spend an extra $30, I suggest buying the faster, more feature rich Sony BDP-S6500. The faster performance alone is worth the money.
If you choose to buy the Sony BDP-S3500, it will serve the purpose of a consistent Blu-ray player.
Thanks for watching this review of the Sony Bdp-s3500 Blu-ray player.

Great Review!. Informative Und Clear Und Well Organized.
Big Thanks From Kuwait
useful review. Cheers!
Nice!!... Can you please let me/us know if it has the "Connection Server Settings" under the Network Settings? Would appreciate it, looking to use it as DLNA device. Thanks!
How do you connect the remote to control the tv ? It has the buttons for the power but I can't figure out how to connect it
On netflix & UTube there is a thin vertical line that is static like & comes & goes...more annoying than anything. Any thoughts?
thanks for the quick overview. people should only get the s6500 if they have a 4k tv though. im happy with my LED tv so i will buy this budget friendly one. on a last note, good thing you remind people that blu-ray movies (DISCS) are always more sharper than streaming them through the internet, most people dont know this
+r4ym1n13 It always blows my mind when people are dismissive of Blu-ray. I am excited to see the 4K Blu-rays coming out later this year.
Disculpen pero como hago para que me aparezcan las demás apps del vídeo?
is there a way to stop the popup menu from appearing whenever a new menu/screen appears?
How do you use the screen mirroring?
how can i connect this to my sony home theater, what cable i need?
do you know how to update the unit? i even doing it by wifi and fails.
Is there a way to reset the parental controls without a password if there is one?
thanks a lot
What about the BDP-BX370 Models?
I'm using BDP-S1500 And i can't adjust volume in the remote, it is not responding please help me
Could i connect and use on laptop?to watch blurays?
They should have at least kept the analog audio outs! you can buy an HDMI to component video Active converter box, and also a HDMI to VGA converter box so you can use that with a VGA to DVI-I cable because some older and still working hd sets do not have hdmi they have VGA and DVI or you can get an HDMI audio extractor and an HDMI to DVI-I cable!
love it!
+Carlos Carroll Thanks for watching!!
Will the Bdp s3700 with Serial number 4500 and higher will play Amazon prime
Could you connect a usb mouse?
when you say the usb port on the front is for a thumb drive, would this include me being able to connect an external hard drive(2TB) and stream content in from that also? Thanks
Honestly, I have never tried that. I'll test it out and get back to you. Thanks for watching my review of the Sony BDP-S3500.
Leisure it should be able to, considering that that's a feature on most DVD players, a blueray player should be able to do it.
do you have to use ethernet or can you connect to your home wifi?
The Sony BDP S3500 has wifi. Thanks for watching this review!
What regions does this play?
I have it that cable blue-Ray!
I bought this brand new and for some reason the tray won't even open!! :(
se descompuso mi blue rey sony prende pero no abre las aplicaciones y me dicen que yas no hay arreglo que son desechables.
Contemplating getting one, but I'm reading reviews on poor internet connection while trying to stream apps & that it's not working right since the update. Can you confirm this?
+Graning21 I will check for the update tonight and get back to you this weekend.
+WaysToWatchcom Wow, thanks! Great channel!
Graning21 I reconnected the BDP-S3500 and with an ethernet connection, it worked well. It had the latest update. If you are still shopping, I suggest picking up the slightly more costly BDP-S6500. Happy Holidays!
Where’s the app called?
Can you play cd; on this devise
Can I use it for free tv?
can you insert ps3 discs and play them?
No, it only works with the Playstation Now game streaming service. If your Internet connection is good the game play will be good.
Why should you watch netflix through a bluray player?
I lost the remote, anyone know where I can buy a new one?
amzn.to/1TNtxtq
thank you very much!
wait. did you say you can play a ps3 GAME on this device?
+RED RAiN Yes, but the Sony BDP-S3700 is newer with better performance. Thanks for watching!
does this support remote play for PS 4
+nikobelic85 No, it does not. Thanks for watching!!
CAN YOU PLAY , PLAY STATION GAMES FROM PS4 HERE TOO ?
No, only PS3 games through the Playstation Now service. Thanks for watching!!
Can you play videogames of ps3 in this blue ray
yes, games from ps3 and ps4, PlayStation
now is a game streaming service like Netflix but for games
it's multiregion and multizone? DVD 1 2 3 4 5 6 ?
No lo es, es solo región 4
Mi sony s3500 no tiene Amazon Prime alguien sabe como instalarlo?
Yo tambien !!! El si tiene creo que cambiando de pais.. o reseteando
Its such a pain that it doesnt even come with the HDMI cable
+titox1605 Yes that is true, but you can pick one up for $5.
ply sam muisik on the dvdplyer
this just totally broke on me after owning it for only 3 months. it turns on and only the bluray sony logo shows then it just goes black. anyone know how to fix this?
+jonisrockin From where did you buy it? You should be able to exchange it. Keep us posted.
+jonisrockin : This just happened to me today as well. 1 month for me. Got this as a x-mas gift and may have to return it to Sony or where it was purchased. ( ADDED: Just found out it was purchased through Amazon ). We were only using this for the Blu-Ray feature, youtube, and pandora apps.
+Roger S mine began to work again by unplugging it for a minute then plugin it back in
+jonisrockin : I tried that 3 times to no avail.
+jonisrockin : Tried again and it worked. BUT this time the disc door on the player wouldn't open. It was locked under the child proof mode. Unlocked it by pressing the stop button, home button, and top menu button to unlock the child proof mode to no avail. Tried to access the door by manually opening it ( unplug device and re-plugging the device while pressing the eject button ). The disc door opened but I was unable to play the blue-ray disc. From that point on I reset everything to factory settings. Turn off the device; and back to square one with a black screen after seeing the blue-ray symbol. I got the troubleshooting info from the Sony website and tried all possible avenues to resolve the matter to no avail :(. I'm gonna just return it back to AmazonPrime and take it from there.
Disculpen trato de abrir you tube y no lo cargar a que se debe este problema
Tengo el mismo problema
Igual yo. Aparece el logo de "youtube" pero no ingresa y no conecta al smarthphone como dias antes lo hacia..
Ya intestaste reiniciarlo
Estimado tienes que reiniciarlo..o resetearlo de acuerdo a fábrica. ERROR 400/404 aqui te dejo el link que puede ayudarte: www.sony.es/electronics/support/articles/00197932 El procedimiento a detalle lo subiré subiré al canal.
solucionado
Is this region free
Actually, this Blu-ray player is region free. I have not tried it with disc from other regions. Hope it works well for you.
Don't expect the ROKU services on this player to give you any choice whatsoever on what you want to watch. This player is pre-loaded with just a few channels: Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and a few others. You CANNOT add any of the thousands of ROKU streaming services - a waste of money and a bad Christmas present. The box should have TOLD us this was a joke.
can I play ps3 discs
+Xboxplayerpinoy No, the Sony BDP S3500 does not play PS3 disc. Only games from the Playstation Now network.
WaysToWatchcom ok
WaysToWatchcom should I buy it
I would not buy it for gaming. It is solid for buying Blu-rays and DVDs.
You cannot download your apps preferences, only what comes with that Sony B R player. That sets significant limitations on what apps I want to access. If I knew that prior to purchasing that player I would have ignored it. Poor choices from Sony. Do not buy it.
FYI - this is crap for Canadian users. Only about 5 streaming apps of any value. eg no amazon app. and cannot add any new ones. Very disappointed.

your WiFi sucks lmao
The most laughable piece of garbage I have ever wasted my money on. Every 2 days I have to disconnect the power cord because it looses connection and will continue to do so until it is reset by unplugging the cord.
Yeah this thing is a total piece of junk. Child lock enabled at all times and cannot disable to eject DVD. A million other huge issues with this essentially nonfunctional piece of shit
