Best Bluray Player under $200 - Blu-ray Forum

Coasterghost · 11-28-2012, 06:47 AM

I'm looking for a new Blu-ray player. I am upgrading to a 7.1 Surround System and I am looking for a new player that uses HDMI so i can Bitstream the audio to my AV Receiver I am getting and that won't make me activate secondary audio to use it at full 7.1 (My Sharp BD-HP24U). The New Player I am looking for, I would like to be 3D (For when I get a 3D TV). I would also like Amazon Instant Video, Netflix and optional for Flixster and Vudu. The unit needs to be Wi-Fi. I am looking for one with the most options. Any help is GREATLY Appreciative and Thank you in Advance.

Please Note: I own a PS3 'Phat' but I am looking for a stand-alone player to work also with my AV Receiver.

Sony BDP-S590, or its Costco equivalent, the BDP-BX59. They are the exact same players except the BX59 comes with an HDMI cable. You won't find anything better for the price.

I just picked up a S590 from Best Buy this week on sale for $99.99, but I haven't opened it yet to test it out. I picked it up partly on reviews mentioning that it plays video files over USB. I had ripped a lot of my DVDs over the years and put them into storage and now mostly only play blu-ray movies from actual discs. Does anyone happen to have any personal experience playing mp4, mkv and divx avi files on this player? I would just like a little more reassurance that it will work for my needs before I open it up.

The Panasonic players are all very nice. BDT-215 for example. Fast load times, good quality, etc.

Got the S590 from Amazon for $98 the other day. I'm really liking it. Loads discs a lot faster than my old S350 I got back in 2008, Amazon streams flawlessly on it. Great player from the price as far as I can tell.

I own the Sony BD-590 as well. Works like a charm.

For anyone still looking, Amazon has the Panasonic DMP-BDT220 on a lightning deal right now for $79.99.

A little over two hours remaining (or until all claimed--at 20% claimed currently).

Whats the difference between Sony BDP-S570 and Sony BDP-S590? Does any bluray player have a Flixster app? Also are there any bluray players that Flixster and Vudu apps that actually let you log into your account watch your movies?
