Best Blu Ray Player... - Blu-ray Forum

ADRiiAN` · 11-20-2008, 12:07 AM

...for my money.

I am looking for a blu-ray player for my father for Christmas.

I do have a PS3, and I do not know if I would like to get another one.
I don't think I would want to spend $400 for one, as well.

Although the PS3 is extremely future proof. I would like just like to get a stand-alone player, $300 or under. (If I can find a PS3 for under $300, then I would grab it.)

I would like to know good players that have an ethernet port, BD-Live 2.0 and the best for future.

I would hate to have to constantly update and update just to watch a movie. Which is probably the biggest downfall for the Blu-ray format.

He does not have a DTS-HD, TrueHD or PCM reciever, but I hope in the future, he might get one.

Any help would be great, thanks.

EDIT - I Am Canadian!

EDIT 2 - I realized that multichannel analog is IMPORTANT to me, (due to having an receiver that doesn't do TrueHD or DTS-HDMA), 5.1 or higher is a MUST. So, Panny BD55 or Sony S550?

Thanks for that.
I just to go across border like crazy! (Buffalo to be exact)
But since the CDN dollar has dropped, it's bad.
It still might be a good purchase though!

Thanks!

Agreed, I own one myself and I love it. It's costs around 250+tax (usually with some bonus BD offer).

A lot of people are praising the BDP350, sounds awesome.

What's wrong with the Samsung if I might add?
