currently looking to buy a bluray player for my grandparents, all bluray players play DVD's as well no?

id like to spend under $250 on somthing decent if possible

any recomendations?

oh also somthing that plays multi-region DVDs might be nice, euro ones etc.

your grandparents want a bluray player?!?! what a waste of money.

just buy a chinese made no-region DVD player with HDMI and supports AVI and RMVB!!

Lol how's it a waste of money? They have a 42" xbr4 with surround setup :p

[wouwou]

I think there are tons of BD players that's sub-250

Check Zellers or Wal-Mart, I saw the ads on redflagdeals

I doubt they will be all region dvd playing on them though.

i saw walmart having one for $175 not long ago

Samsung bdp-1600 $279.99 at futureshop right now

anything less(in price) then your grandparents will probably be too frustrated with it.



has good reviews on blu-ray.com

the sony bdp s350 is easy to use and decent quality.

prob a 40" or 46" cause xbr4 never came up with a 42"

but either way there's cheap samsung blu-ray players that go on sale every now and then for 199 which isnt bad

no, you meant to say too stubborn to admit defeat :haha:

betamax was a success in europe/asia and still being used in europe for something or other :)

[N.V.M.]

anybody notice the bluray selection at Blockbusters and the rest is sparse, to say the least?

[wouwou]

the BB near hastings and gilmore has quite a BD selection (cant remember the exact intersection),

the Rogers on Lougheed mall is good for BD too

but yeah, selection can vary depending on location
