Christmas player for mom? - Blu-ray Forum

GeneD5 · 11-18-2008, 12:33 PM

Hey guys-
I haven't read this forum for sometime because I've been set with my player since Feb, but I want to get on for my mom for Christmas. I'm seing the samsung bdp-1500 on sale for $199 all over the place, and next week there is an insignia one for $169. I don't have to get complicated with audio codecs and whatnot for her but I want her to have a nice player that won't give her trouble. Should I go for one of these or do you guys have any better suggestions?

You can also get the Sony S350 for 179.99 at Kmart or Sears on thanksgiving day.

thanks...does anyone have any input as to which one is most reliable on playback? All that I know is my PS3 is solid as a rock

PanasonicPlasmaMan · 11-18-2008, 07:47 PM

BDP S350 is a very good player.

Midnightsailor · 11-18-2008, 07:49 PM

Yeah... I'd go with the 350.

). im a ps3 man as well

It's basicly the same scenario you would have at Christmas except it's a birthday. Just ignore that slight indescrepency and it's rather funny given the topic of this thread.

One more vote for the Sony S350... or the Panny BD-35. Both are VERY solid players for the money. Get whichever you can get for less $$$ (prob the S350).

GeneD5 · 11-21-2008, 03:58 PM

thanks again...I would love more input still. I see I can get the BDP-1500 under $200 now...I want to make the right choice for mom.
