OPPO BDP-103 3D Blu-ray Player
“In December, I took the long awaiting step of upgrading the picture in my modest home theater. I run a Marantz SR4002 with Definitive Technology Pro-sat 1000 5.1 surround sound speaker system. First step was to upgrade the picture, for which I chose the Samsung UN60ES7100. Great picture, check! Next was the Blu Ray player. Since the 4002 is not 3D capable, a necessary criteria was a player...” --bartsimpson1971
OPPO BDP-93 Blu-ray Player
“My Oppo BDP-93 was my 3rd foray into the Blu-ray disc player arena after two prior and utterly disappointing experiences with a Samsung BD-P1400 and the BD-P1600 that was its warranty replacement. The Oppo BDP-93 has excelled in the all the areas that the other players fell short. To name a few: Disc Loading Times - the Oppo BDP-93 averages a 15 second loading time for most BD media in my...” --KingLeerUK
PlayStation 3 320GB System
“Aside from being a gaming console, the Playstation 3 is quite a versatile home theater box. I've got an Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Roku LT, and while all are great, none of them quite do everything. The Xbox and PS3 are both great gaming consoles in their own rights, but the Xbox doesn't pack a Blu-ray player, and the PS3 leaves just a little to be desired from streaming options compared to...” --cdann08
OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray Player
“I have been using this almost since it was introduced and still think it is a great player. Admittedly I don't use it as much anymore now that I have an HTPC but I do still need it sometimes and I'm glad it's there.” --rec head
OPPO BDP-105 Blu-ray Player
“This is not just a Blu-ray player. If that is what you want, there are less costly options. It's not just a media player. If that is what you want, there are other products with fewer restrictions on content playback. This is not just a DAC. Here too, you can find a good stand-alone DAC for less. It is not just a line stage with a high-quality volume control. No, if you are looking for any one...” --Styln
PlayStation 3 80GB System
“My tried and true second generation PlayStation 3 is a great Blu-ray player on top of everything else it does. Having the entire processing power of a gaming console certainly doesn’t hurt when it comes time to crunch Blu-ray image data. I keep the most up to date firmware installed in it so it still continues to be a thoroughly modern Blu-ray even though it hasn’t actually been new for quite...” --luminance
Panasonic DMP-BDT220 Integrated Wi-Fi 3D Blu-ray DVD Player
“The only non-Panasonic BD player I had, was the LG BH200, because it played HD DVD and BD. After that, I purchased stand alone players for each format. Going by CNET's reviews I got the DMP-BD35 first. Fast forward to now, I have the DMP-BDT220 and as from prior Panny BD players, it has yet to disappoint! I got it on Black Friday and paid $100 for it. 3D and regular BD performance are...” --bettzysdaddy
Panasonic DMP-BDT110 Wi-Fi Ready 3D/2D Blu-ray Disc Player
“I purchased my Panasonic DMP-BDT110 3D Blu-Ray Disc Player at Best Buy in June 2011 for $65.00. It was displayed on a shelf that had never been connected to a display. The newer models had come out the next year. It is great with my LG D2342P Passive 3D Monitor. (To be honest, I wished I had a Benq 519W or MW1070 3D Projector. I love big screen movies on a big screen!) The 3D features on the...” --PGTweed
Sony BDP-S5100 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi
“When it comes to high-definition video technologies, I am an early adopter—which makes it a bit odd that I picked up Sony's BDP-S5100 yesterday. I'm very happy I did, because it is a really great performer that addresses many of my complaints about Blu-ray players. Surprisingly, the Sony player also improved my online-delivery experience, especially the quality of Netflix HD content. Until...” --imagic
Sony BDP-S590 3D Blu-ray Player
“I've recently started setting up a family room theatre in my basement and I'm buying reasonably priced equipment so that I don't go broke. ;-) So I did some research when it came time to buy a blu-ray player and tired to find something that wasn't too expensive, but also performed quite well. This is always a challenge to find something in my price range that has above average performance at...” --jakob_s
