Recommend A Bluray Player For A Friend - Blu-ray Forum

Bluray Freak 2009 · 03-10-2010, 09:39 PM

I just got a call from a friend they wanted me to recommend a bluray player below is the features they are looking for

-Fast Loading Time
-Internet Capable
(They Have a wired Ethernet Network but I would also like it to have wireless just in case)
-Internal Memory (The Bigger The Better)
-HDMI Support (The Latest Spec)
-BD Profile 2.0

They want to buy it from Bestbuy though so which is the best one they sell in store they were looking at some Bluray Players mostly LG when they called.

Thanks For Your Replys

looking for as much memory as possible? My guess and reccomendation would be the LG BD590. It has wireless N built in and a 250GB hard drive. 379.99 at Best Buy. One of the best players on the market, got excellent reviews all around. Has lots of features such as Netflix, VUDU, Pandora and many others. I have the step down BD570 and LOVE it!!!!

I had a PS3 I bought at best buy and hooked it all up (took a while). I put in a blu-ray movie got (error: cannot read disc)...I was like ha? what? Then I put in a regular dvd.....took a minute or so to load then...BAM!!! (error: cannot read disc)...I was so upset, boxed it all up and returned it for the Samsung BD-P3600 and loved it, had some freezing issues while streaming netflix. Sold that on craigs list and bought the LG....LOVE IT!!!

Panasonic BD-65 just came out and meets all your specs except it requires a 1mg SD card for BD live($10 or less at most stores) and also has streaming capabilites. $179 at Best Buy. If you don't see them on the floor, look up on top of the aisles where the blu-ray players are located.

Just keep in mind that the "bluetooth" remote costs about $29 extra and if you want to use a universal IR remote, you have to buy a special dongle.
