Kanskje mest interessant er mellomklassemodellen BDP-S560. Forgjengeren BDP-S550 har fått mye lovord, og den nye modellen har trådløst nett – wi-fi.

Et annet positivt trekk er lekre menyer, som på Sonydialekt heter Xross Media Bar.

Det er verd å merke seg at nykommeren mangler analoge 7.1-utganger. Dette i motsetning til S550.
