Answer
For HD you need a Blu-ray player, not a DVD player. That said, one of the most reasonable is the Insignia player sold at Best Buy (it's their house brand). Netflix and Best Buy just announced a partnership (See link). In Canada the basic player sells for $170 (2nd link).

I suggest anyone replacing a DVD player these days consider a Blu-ray player. Why? Because, that way you have the capability to play Blu-ray disks if/when you find them at an acceptable price, and in the meantime Blu-ray players make a good upscaling DVD player for your existing collection.

Does anyone know of any region free dvd players at bestbuy?

I'm looking to buy a region free DVD player to watch obscure foreign films for films that can't be found off Netflix etc. Can anyone recommend a current region free model from Best Buy that is currently being sold? Thanks!

Answer
In the US, it is considered illegal to sell region free DVD players.

What is the deal with blue ray dvd players?

My friend just bought a playstation 3 and new huge hdtv. I have seen blue ray players in the upwards of $2, 000. Why would I spend that kind of money when I can simply buy a ps3? I want to know the difference between ps3 blue ray players and the super expensive ones. To me it sound the same as dvd players, and for the most part it is hard to find one that is better than the other. What do you think?

Answer
Well...you can buy a Blu-Ray player for $299-$399 range...NOT over $2,000. With that in mind a PS3 is running around $399 with 80GB. So it is very close in price. It is just a matter of personal preference. Are you a gamer? Are you a young professional? Are you married? Do you want a PS3 in your living room entertainment center? These are some of the reasons for choosing a PS3 or a Blu-Ray player. If you are just watching movies then you should go with the Blu-Ray.

What is the best deal for a HD DVD player?

We have been using our playstation 2 to play dvds on for some time now and would like to get a dvd player. We thought since we are buying one we might as well buy one that is for HD dvds as well as that seems to be the way things are going, can anyone help with finding a good deal? They seem quite expensive!! Thank you :)

Answer
I wouldn't get an HD DVD player. I'd get a Blu-Ray player or wait for a hybrid that plays both. HD DVD players are becoming less common and appear to be going down the path as Beta.

How much are you looking to spend?

I play Blu-Ray's on my PS3.
