Looking to upgrade from a multi region Pioneer DVD player to Blu Ray soon and wondered if anybody had any recommendations? Have heard that Sony players are some of the best and are now below £200, but I also saw a Philips one in Sainsbury the other day for £97!!! Any body got one that they can recommend? Ta!

Oppo BD-83

The only BD/DVD/SACD/DVD-A/CD player you will ever need.

And it can be made region-free for BD and DVD.

Considering the others being considered Id hazard a guess thats slightly out of budget?!

Why not get a Playstation 3 for £250 or so, it seems to be regarded as a high quality Bluray player in its own right as well as doing a whole lot more like media streaming as well as the obvious game console functionality.

I've got one of these arriving tomorrow. Has good reviews and that was the cheapest I could find it in DVD multi-region form. Will let you know what it's like after I've given it a work out tomorrow night.

I don't know it's certainly the best avaiable at the price and plays any disc you put in it. It's also available in a "SE" version. Don't forget also that most "Multi-region" BD players are only Multi-Region for DVD's not Blu-Ray's. I'd suspect the "cheap" Philips won't be MR.
