Best reasonably priced bluray player?
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.

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.

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

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

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
