When Blu-ray players came out, they were just so expensive. Everyone was out buying the PlayStation 3 because it had an integrated blu-ray player and was a bargain. Now those blu-ray players are coming way down in price and people are wanting to segregate those items or not buy that Playstation 3. Hands down, one of the favorites out there is the Sony BDP-S350 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player. It is cost effective and a great player.

And for $239 now at Amazon. Not bad at all.
It’s great that the price is dropping. I’m going to have to bite the bullet soon, but I have a Sony carousel CD/DVD player and the blue ray version is till too expensive at this time.
