Default Blueray player for my brother... ideas?

Suggestions? I'm supposed to move within a week and am thinking of picking him one up. Cheap is good... good is better.

Don't know what "cheap" is to you, but I just bought two Panasonic DMP-BD35K's. $225 shipped from abesofmaine.com. Reviews for this unit are excellent.

Cheapest I've seen is 289, but it looks like there are alternatives.

A quick google product search shows the Sony BDP-S300 for 129-480. Lots of 5 star reviews, seems to be good feedback.

Vargas posted in another thread stating that he just got a Samsung BDP-1500 for $199.99 at Circuit City.

Here's the link: Buy the Samsung BDP-1500 BD-Live Ready Blu-ray Disc Player and other Blu-ray Disc players at circuitcity.com

Try and get a Profile 2 blu-ray player. A lot of the cheaper ones are still in the Profile 1 land and need upgraded.

But personally, I'd wait one more year...remember when DVD players first came out and cost $300ish? Now, you can pick up a DVD player for $30.

The blueray movies themselves cost too much. I'll wait until the blueray discs are more reasonably priced.

The blueray players themselves are coming down in price though.

That's an issue I'm running into as well. I'm thinking about focusing on the surround sound system more than the blue ray at this point. The blue ray players may drop in price a lot right after xmas. I'm trying to stay under $500.

I bought the Samsung BD-P1500 on Wednesday for $199.99. I also picked up the Dark Knight for $24.99 on sale.

CC had a bunch of Blu-Ray movies on sale for $17.99 too.

300, American Psycho, I am Legend and a bunch of other were among the $18 titles.

For under $500.00 you could get the player and a bunch of movies or a player and a surround sound system.

Blu Ray disc can be found with a bit of shopping very reasonably. If you can find a reasonably priced Blu Ray player, I'd not worry so much about the cost of the Blu Ray movies. There are several online stores that sell them well below SRP for most stores.

Even Walmart, Sam's and Costco often have them $5 to $10 less than most other stores.

I have found lots of older movies which I somtimes like better than new releases for $14.99 and Walmart had a bin full of them the other day for $9.99. Yes Blu Ray movies!

If this is for Christmas though, you are running out of time quickly!
