Can anyone recommend me a good value Blu-Ray player that's under £100
in price?

The main things I was looking for was fast load times, bd live 2.0,
wide range of supported formats (avi mp4, mkv etc) and giving great
quality play back for blu-rays.

Which ones did you look at and where?
This avoids duplicating items that have reviews online already for you to
read,
it also saves time telling you how to compare prices.
You can find the information yourself from a web browser such as IE or
Firefox. You will need to have a look yourself to check the models people
are suggesting are suitable. It would make sense for you to make at least
some sort of effort, would you like someone to pay for it, deliver it,
set it all up and watch the films for you?

Saw this recently, though I can't vouch for it.

I believe it's Ebuyer's own brand.

Chuckle.. I'd be very surprised if any of the players has fast loading, if
by that its meant fast to actually play the blue ray media. This seems to
be one of the main criticisms of players. I suppose when one thinks of it,
the multitude of optical formats now about past and present must present
any designer with a major headache.

Richer Sounds have the LG BD350 for £90
the BD 370 adds [wired] BD live for £140 and the BD390 also does it
wirelessly for £250.

See http://www.richersounds.com/productlistmanu/HDDVD/LG/1

LG Blu Ray probably have the fastest load time in the market, whereas you
can read War and Peace waiting for a Sony to start a film...

With regards the Sony machines I have to agree. Sony seems to have gone
more than one step backwards in consumer electronics when it comes to
their design for BR players. There're so slow at loading disks the first
impression is that they are never going to play them.

I got a Sony 360 a few weeks ago; £130 from Dixons. This unit has BD live.
Indeed, it's about as slow as my PC at loading Blu-Ray discs. However I was
enticed by its claim at a fast loading option of about 6 seconds. This turns
out to be if you leave the unit pretty much on all of the time! Still, I
can't fault its picture.

You can get a Sony blu-ray player pretty cheaply these days. I have a
Sony and it does a wonderful job of upscaling DVDs. As it's impossible
to press Stop part-way through a Blu-Ray disc and resume another day, I
prefer renting DVDs. Blu-Ray doesn't add much, anyway, as my enjoyment
of a film is more down to the quality of the script, direction, acting
and so on.
