Blu Ray Players

So I'm finally looking to upgrade to Blu Ray, can anyone recommend me anything?

I don't even know if they play DVDs

but if some do/don't I definitely want it to!

Seen a few bundles with 5.1 setups which I may stretch to, but I've seen so many already and no idea about the quality of them.

What's your budget?

What HI FI recommend the following:

Sony BDP-S380 (up to £120)
Panasonic DMP-BDT210 (£120 - £300)

Yes they play both dvd and blu rays.

I would be interested in this thread as currently only have a player for my pc.

Are there things to look for when buying a player?

I'm very happy with my Sony BDP S480.... but it's only currently plugged into my 32"720p TV.

I was actually looking at that model last night as it has some good reviews at a decent price.

I've been looking at the Sony S480 as well, meant to be a good player at the price!

Claim The Harry Potter™ 3D Experience including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Parts I and II™ on Blu-ray 3D when you buy one of the Sony Home Entertainment products listed below between October 13 and March 31, 2012.

Includes this at the moment as well

Edit - Ignore

Seems like a very good buy from the reviews and WhatHiFi, especially for my first player

I'm thinking of getting the Panasonic DMPBDT110 for £89.95. That includes Star Wars 4-6 on blu ray free (got to buy by 31st Dec 2011).

Look a good bargain considering the blu rays cost around £30.

I purchased the Sony BDPS480B

Same here seemed very well receieved.

Can't wait to watch all my classics in Bluray now
