Buy Blu ray players, dvd players

Read my review of the PS3 (I currently own this one).

Click here and have a look at Blu ray players on sale at amazon.com

A word from the editor: When I started this website, I had my eye on the following Blu ray player from Samsung. In my reading, I found that it could decode all HD codec's and convert them over HDMI to 7.1 channels LPCM. I still need to get my hands on one to review /test it. The only downside that allot of people report is that the pc streaming technology is still new and not without difficulties. I assume good advice would be not to by this Blu ray player for Pc wireless streaming. (Blu ray dvd player)

Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-ray Player Reviewed by TrustedReviews

"Samsung BD-P3600 is a BD-Live-enabled Blu-ray player released not long ago. It offers 1080p Full HD output and DVD upscaling. The player has 1GB internal memory. It has an Ethernet port and a bundle WiFi 802.11b/g/n USB dongle for internet connectivity.

Users can also plug external hard drives to the BD-P3600, for playing back DivX HD, XviD, MP3 and JPEG files.

TrustedReviews has reviewed the Samsung BD-P3600:

Verdict:

The BD-P3600 takes everything we loved about the BD-P4600, packs it into a different but equally attractive box and throws in a few extra frills for good measure. There's a plethora of features (Wi-Fi and 7.1 outputs being the highlights), plus loading times are fast and AV performance is excellent. But best of all its �250 price tag makes it excellent value for money, putting it right up there with the LG BD370 and Panasonic DMP-BD60 in the holy trinity of budget Blu-ray decks. "

Lower Prices, Quest to 'Capture the Dramatic' Drive Blu-Ray Sales Up -- but Not Yet Past the DVD

As many consumers turned their backs on such popular gifts as digital cameras, MP3 players, and GPS devices last December, one product that many considered a dark horse during the holiday stole the spotlight.

Perhaps Blu-ray players, much like many of the movies available for them, seek to capture the dramatic. With its stunning high-definition picture quality, uncompromised audio and new interative features, Blu-Ray has long had the ability to make consumers drop their jaws.

Now, though, the format is becoming more successful at enticing them to drop their cash.

In January 2009, a year after Warner Home Video announced support for Blu-ray at the expense of its rival format HD-DVD, stand-alone Blu-ray sales increased 55 percent in units compared to January 2008. The main catalyst has been lower prices. Whereas the average price for a Blu-ray player was $395 in June 2008, it had dropped to $240 during December.

In certain parts of the country, Blu-ray has grown to a significant percentage of player sales. In Denver, for example, one of the hottest markets for the technology, Blu-ray players accounted for 24 percent of the total DVD market for the three months ending January 2009."
