advice - Blu-ray Forum

Just need some advice / input..

Gonna be getting my first 3D BDP soon,, and i narrowed it down to 3,,first is the panasonic BDP 220 or the 210 or i can get an LG BP620 for $60.00.
the Lg seems like a decent price ( it is new in the box) but the panny 210 can be region free,if im not mistaken,maybe thats worth getting.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Considered a PS3?

It's got firmwire, 3D, BD, video on demand, television on demand, net access practically turns any telle into a smart one, a big HDD to store whatever you want, and something else... oh yeah, games.

Though I think there's some issue with lossless audio on 3D blu's, but I can't tell ya for sure cause my speakers aren't that great anyway.

Panasonic has always been pretty reliable. Good features, solid build, firmware support etc

Thats what i was leaning towards,,
the reason the LG is so cheap is that a local liquidator place had a big pallet auction over the weekend,and there was quite a few blu ray players,,soundbars etc among them.

saving money isn't always a good idea. I don't know that LG model, but you should go with players that are well rated and the Panasonic BDT-220 is what I would go for at just a little over $100 from Amz.

Now the 220 and the 210 are basically the same right?

I haven't compared them but the 220 is basically the new 210. You might want to find the specs of both to see. I would think that if there are differences the 220 would be more up to date, but you'll have to check. I did read a few really good reviews of the 220. If I was in the market for a player right now it would be Panasonic or Sony (outside of Oppo that is). Firmware updates being one of the primary reasons.
