Need a good Amazon capable Blu-ray player

[West E]

Hey guys,
I have a PS3 for the family room but we're looking for a good Amazon Video on Demand capable blu-ray player for the bedroom. I have never shopped for a blu-ray player before (to me before it was an added bonus to buying a PS3). I've been reading some threads here trying to see what everyone likes. I think built in wireless would be a must since I wouldn't want to run a cat5 across the bedroom. LOL

Anyone have any experience with the ones that come with apps? I'd like to take advantage of my amazon prime account and stream movies, etc. Thanks for any help guys.

I have a Panny 110 which works fairly well, I will warn you thought, it appears that you do not get 5.1 only stereo (at least on Melancholia) and the picture is less than stellar...

The panny 110 does not have wireless but the panny 210 does. So that might be your answer, don't forget that with wireless you will not "stream" as fast.

Plus you get a copy of Avatar 3D free!

Even though I don't stream content / use built-in apps, the Panasonic DMP-BDT210 (which I own) will support these, including Amazon Instant Video. It is WiFi ready out of the box, i.e. no need to purchase a wireless adapter.

Price has been fluctuating over the past couple of weeks (it was $129.99 shipped, as of yesterday evening). Your shipment will arrive double-boxed.

thanks for the replies. funnily enough the Panny 210 was the first one that i researched about an hour ago. Even won CNET's editor's choice award.

I've also noticed there's a 310 out on amazon but i'm not seeing much difference. I think just more HDMI outputs which wouldn't matter to me.

The 310 is really for those without a 3D-capable A/V receiver, hence the dual HDMI ports. If you don't fall into this group, then the 210 is all you need.
