IF you want to pay out the nose and get a bunch if "features" of questionable value
get something like an OPPO.
Or go to Walmart and get a magnavox (Funai) for 68 bucks. Or splurge and get a
LG for 80$ , or a Sony for a 119, etc.
My first player was 400$, a Sony that was slow as CHRISTMAS and out of date in
six months. My second was a SHARP, died in less than a year. My fault, shoulda known better.
I love my new 68$ player, looks and sounds great, dies, and I trashcan it and get one
up to date. I HAVE SPENT ENOUGH ON BLU PLAYERS.
The day of the "250 to 300" BLU player is over.
Been over.
Do you HAVE to trash everything you don't own or use? The OPPO players are great pieces of gear, even the basic ones are marvelous. True I don't use SACD or some of the other audio formats BUT when that machine UPDATES itself its and amazing thing to watch. Also if I do run across a Blu-Ray it won't play you go on-line to their forums and you'll find probably find a solution. I don't own a $68.00 Funai, but I'm not going to disparrage gear I don't own or use, that's just stupidity.
