blu ray player 4od image

Our old tv finally died the other day, 11-12 years old I think, so we got a new one & I'm a bit lost as it seems technology has moved forwards 'just a little' since our last TV!

Basically, I'm wondering if I can get a blu ray player than would have some sort of wifi connection, that would link up with my home router, and allow me to access things the internet via the tv? I'm really just interested in things like bbc iplayer, 4od.

Is this at all possible? If so, is there a some sort of jargon i should look out for? Or a specific model? It would be great if this could be done without breaking the bank of course too.

Thanks for your advise!

Answer
With Blu-Ray DVD players, some of them do have built in Wi-Fi. However the built in Wi-Fi has two purposes.

1) To update firmware and patches for your Blu-Ray DVD player
2) To stream content such as Netflix, Pandora music, Youtube only to your television.

However there is no Blu-Ray DVD player with Wi-Fi that will allow you to browse the internet since there is no internet browser included in the Blu-Ray DVD player.

If you like to purchase one, I would suggest going with Sony brand. One that includes built in Wi-Fi and with Blu-Live 2.0 (to access extra movie content and information about the movie) to your television. It should cost less than $200.00

Which game system should i get?

Noah

Sony PlayStation 3, microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo 3ds, Nintendo Wii. And any good games I should get, I like action, adventure, really anything.

Answer
PS3 of course

I would get the PS3. Not only does it have something for everyone, it also has certain exclusives that are just too good to pass up (Mainly Uncharted series). Here are a few more exclusive games:

1. Heavenly Sword
2. God of War
3. Little Big Planet
4. Resistance
5. KillZone
6. Yakuza
7. Uncharted
8. Infamous
9. Gran Turismo ( Racing Game )

Here are some for the Xbox 360:

1. Halo
2. Gears of War
3. Forza ( Racing Game )

That's about it for Xbox 360 'must-haves'. Every other good Xbox 360 game you can also get for PC. Also, you have to pay for online gaming with the Xbox 360...as if Microsoft wasn't rich enough. You will never have to pay to play with PS3 or Wii.

One more thing...the Xbox 360 still doesn't play Blu-Ray discs, so definitely go for PS3 if you want to watch movies. I can understand how Microsoft was fighting for their disc format, but they locked themselves out from watching movies and shows with high quality because of it. A pitiful decision.

Don't even get me started on the sheer power of the systems. Both systems put out about the same quality in their games, the PS3 is more powerful. Also, who wants to play with giant controller the Xbox 360 sports? Sony gives it's customers style. PS3 also has Lovefilm, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, 4oD, MUBI, Music Unlimited, VidZone, PlayTV and ITV/STV/UTV Player.
