Decent budget Blu-Ray

PS3....the elegant solution.

Black Friday and the days after may yield a great deal. I purchased several Samsung blu-ray players in a past year for $90 that retailed for as high as $250+. I'm not saying that I have the greatest player on earth, but it does the job and it didn't cost very much. Everyone that I know that owns one seems to be perfectly happy.

Just watch for a big sale if you're really looking for a cheap player. If you want something at the next level, consider something like an Oppo.

FYI on the Sony: It plays SACD, but converts to PCM.

As for a price, I was hoping to be somewhere around the $200-$250 range.

I had thought about going this route. I don't really play games, but I've heard they are pretty good players.

I'd love a PS3.....Too bad it's made by Sony, a company which IMO has gone about as far downhill as possible in some aspects of customers service.

As 'proof', I ask only that you spend a few minutes looking up the RPTV debacle of the last decade.

I'd rather have a couple year old OPPO '83 with a few miles on it run it until it went belly up.
