Picking up my new Sony KDL46W5150, need a new Blu-ray player... suggestions?

[smfoushee]

I've been going back and forth between the Sony KDL46W5100/5150 and the Panasonic Plasma 50G10 for the better part of a week now and just got a call back from one of my local HT stores that told me they'll sell me their last one for $1099 So, I'm picking it up later today, but now I need another Blu-ray player to compliment this beautiful display.

I currently own a Samsung model that has Netflix and Pandora, and while I don't use Netflix the Pandora option is nice, however the player itself could due with an update as the software is rather piss poor.

I originally thought about getting a PS3, but since everyone is sold out of the $299 model and I'd have a hard time explaining to the misses why I'm buying a new game system (currently I have an Xbox Elite) I'd need some more information about the capabilities of that system to spend the extra dough and get the $349 model.

Any suggestions on a good player that will compliment this Sony around $200 or perhaps a nice set of "facts" I can use to justify the PS3?

Might want to post this in an actual blu-ray subforum.

Right you are, got the wrong forum, can any mods help me out by moving the topic? I'd hate to spam the board with multiple threads.

Just thought you might get better responses if it's posted elsewhere.

Enjoy the new TV!
