Blu Ray players are just now getting to the point where they are very affordable. The Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu Ray player gives you what you want at a great price.

Okay, the quick and the dirty. The Panasonic DMP-BD60 is a good blu ray player. It offers great upconversion and offers a vast array of codecs. It’s load time is pretty good, though not as fast as some other players out there. You can access additional online content via Blu-Live. The service requires an additional SD card and it isn’t seamless. It does, however, have access to Amazon on demand video. I tried that service this weekend. It’s very good.
