I am assuming you have an HDTV so Blu-Ray is really the only choice to make. At this moment there is not even 1 Studio who is HD DVD exclusive anymore. Paramount and Universal have commitment to keep supporting HD DVD in previously planned HD DVD promotions so they aren't abandoning it yet but as of yesterday Variety reported that both are no longer exclusively HD DVD. Meanwhile Blu-Ray enjoys exclusive support from Sony, Disney, Fox, Lionsgate and Warner sister companies New Line and HBO are also shifting allegiance to Blu-ray.
The war is only over when Toshiba says so but retailers may force the their hand. They're unlikely to keep devoting premium shelf space to a dying format, and at this point, the odds are not in HD DVD's favor.

I'm looking for advice on Blu Ray Players?

Can anyone recommend a Blu Ray player with an optical output, and also supports apps such as Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, HBO go ? Not worried about price, just want some suggestions on whats good.
Thanks!

Well - I am a bigger fan of the small media servers like the WD TV Live box or Roku rather than a BluRay player. The apps are usually better and you usually get more of them.
Check that the BD player has wireless built in. The dongle to make my Panasonic player wireless was $90 and gave me 8 apps. The WD TV Live box cost $99 and had 24.
Almost everything runs Netflix. I found a list of devices that support Amazon On Demand. I am not sure of HBO go.
