With the 350/550...
5 second turn on time with like a 4-5 second load time make this a 10 second player. Couple in the fact it's native profile 1.1 and 2.0 (with a 2GB USB memory stick insterted to the back of the 350) and it will bitstream all advanced audio codecs (or decode them via analog in the case of the 550). It makes it an exceptional package.
Beats the pants off my Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player that takes a clean 45 seconds to begin playing a movie.
