S370 or S380?

I am about to purchase either the BDP S370 or S380 can anyone help as to whether it is worth paying the extra for the S380? I currently own a WDTV live as was hoping to perhaps sell it on and just use the S370/380

Thanks in advance

Keep the WDTV Live for playing your (downloaded) media files. I bought a S570 and thought the DLNA playback from my network would be great. It isn't. I got fed up with it not playing certain formats (many MKVs don't play even when you rename to AVI). The ones that do play can be stuttery. And don't even think about pausing and rewinding many of them either!

I ended up buying a WDTV Live and it is excellent compared to the Sony BDP. Just wish you could mark a video file as "watched" after you've watched it or be able to delete it straight away without going to settings->file managment.

To answer your question, buy the S370 for Bluray playback and stick to your WDTV Live for playing media files from DLNA servers (or network shared folders - which the BDP cannot do).
