Good Blu-ray player for the price

The player plays DVD and Blu-ray very well - that was the main reason I bought it - it was one of the cheapest unrestored models out there.

Pros
  • Blu-ray player and recorder
Cons
  • Not automatic

Inexpensive but impressive

Long story short I didn't want to buy another DVD player because I was happy with mine so I decided to get a Blu-ray player as they play both DVDs and Blu-rays and…

Pros
  • Blu-ray player
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
