I am assuming you live in the United States. If so, there are good sales on Samsung and Sony Blu-ray players for 199.99 at bestbuy.
Samsung BD-P1500

If you can stretch out an extra $50, this is a superb blu-ray player. It is profile 1.1 out of the box but samsung includes a USB 2.0 drive in the back of the unit so you can update it through USB or even CD to be the new 2.0 profile standard. I know a few families that own this exact player and none of them have had any problems. The player has relatively slow loading times when loading blu-rays but that is to be expected with all blu-ray players. Samsung includes a loading icon to remedy this which can allow you to at least know when it is loading and when it is not. The sony player is very good as well since Sony are the main innovators of blu-ray.
If the extra $50 is too big of a stretch, there is an insignia blu-ray player going for $149.99 at best buy.

Unfortunately with this unit, there is no ethernet port in the back or a USB port in order to upgrade to profile 2.0 so it is not exactly future proof in terms of extra content if that is what you enjoy in blu-rays. I personally do not care about the extra features they bundle and always just watch the movie. If you share the same views then this player would be fine as it plays blu-rays fine. The main downside with this player is that the display isn't exactly the brightest and it does not bear the mark of the popular companies such as Samsung, Sony, LG, Pioneer, etc. that make quality products day in and day out.
Hope I helped.

Help with Blu-Ray Player?
Holly P
Does anyone know why my tv won't play my blue-rays in widescreen. It does not really bother me but really makes my boyfriend angry. We can't figure it out. Something to do with the age of the T.V?
I don't know how to choose a best answer or whatever but Thanks guys!
Answer
If you have an HD tv and are connecting the blu ray to your tv with an HDMI cable, then go into the blu ray's set up menu and adjust the video setting to 16:9. That will fill the screen side to side tho many blu ray movies are shown in the aspect ratio they were filmed in and you will still have the black bars on the top and bottom.
