Top Rated Blu-Ray Disc Players
Our top choice is the very capable Panasonic DMP-BD65 about 100 bucks at Amazon Blu-Ray Disc Player. This player is user friendly, smooth and fast with top notch video processing. Blu-Ray disks are fantastically detailed and it's DVD upscaling capability is superb. This player's beautiful images are complemented by exceptionally pure, accurate sound thanks to Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD.

The BDP-N460 is a great player at a reasonable price. We especially like the internet streaming feature. If your HDTV is not internet-ready you should consider this machine.

We agree with Home Theater Magazine and many other well regarded reviewers that the 320GB Playstation 3 is one of today's best options.
Home Theater Magazine concludes:
"Overall the PS3 is a great Blu-Ray player and upconverting DVD player, does a solid job playing network content, and is actually a really good game platform as well, if anyone is still interested in that. For $399 it really makes a lot of sense because of the upgradability and future-proof nature of the architecture."
In the user forums the PS3 receives consistently high ratings as well.
