Lowest Priced 3-D Compatible Blu-Ray Player

[talstarone]

I have to say,I am glad to see this section of the Forum,come to life.

I plan on getting another Blu-Ray Player in about Two Weeks.And I figure I may as well consider a 3-D compatible Player.

But it is strictly for my Movies(So SACD and other formats aren't an issue)
I am not too concerned about WiFi capability out of the Box.If it accepts an adapter for WiFi,I can try it later,if I see the need.

I had been looking at a couple of Sony Models.
But I am hoping to find something around $150.00 that would be a good performer and dependable(with out being obsolete in a year)

As I plan on selling my projector and getting a 3-D compatible Projector around the First of the year(2011).

So I would Be Very Greatful and Appreciative for any and all replies and input.

The least expensive 3D player I have seen is the Sony now on sale at Costco for $199.99, I believe it has built in WIFI. I believe this sale goes through the first week in August.


Sony BDP-BX57
* Built-in Wi-Fi & 3D Blu-ray Disc playback capability.
* iPhone/iPod touch "BD Remote" app
* DLNA wireless streaming of photos, videos and music
* Enjoy music, photos and video via front USB slot
* 1GB memory built-in to enjoy BD-Live content

It is also on sale at Sams's club.

If you have the Samsung DLP then no since the DLP uses checkerboard which only the Panasonic 3D Blu-ray player supports.

If you have the Samsung 3D LCD or Plasma then yes, since the Sony follows the new 3D standard which Samsung uses on its new 3D sets.

The Sony BDP-S470 is their least expensive Blu-ray 3D player and is available for around $170 from a number on on-line dealers (e.g., Amazon). If you are also interested in 3D gaming the PS3 at $299 does that now and with a planned firmware update (coming in September) it will also play Blu-ray 3D movies.

Has anyone tried this unit? Costco has a $40 off coupon starting next week. Not sure what the original price is keyed from. My PS3 just YLOD'ed so I'm thinking of another stand alone blu for the bedroom. I didn't want to buy my 3rd player and not be 3d capable...

Wouldn't the 3D projector be a major consideration in this decision? I didn't think there were a lot of them on the market yet, and the one single lens 3D projector I remember seeing used a dual HDMI input, not a 1.4 format. Do you know of a good 3D projector? Considering the cost of that item I wouldn't sweat the price of the Blu-ray player too much.

Very interesting. The closest Ive come to 3D is the cinema, but am looking to invest in newer technology, thanks for the head sup.
