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. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/168916 I believe it's Ebuyer's own brand. -- Ian |

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... |

wrote 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. -- Alan news2009 {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

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. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
