At that price, there's plenty of players out there from Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, etc., that would work just fine. One thing you should watch out for with a cheaper unit, though (under about $250 retail), is that the cheaper units often have problems loading DVDs. That is, you put the disk in and push play, and it just sits there blinking stupidly at you, refusing to play the disk. But, the disk works fine on a DVD player or better Blu Ray player. another issue with cheaper units is that they may not have DVD upconversion (simulated higher resolution HD) and the rendered video might have a lot of video artifacts (ghosting and video tearing during certain scenes).
I suggest you go to a site like CNET.com to look at reviews of various players, pick a make and model you like, then go look for it on eBay or Amazon. But, I will say that you're probably not going to get one that plays Blu Rays as well as that PS3 for $150.

i accidentally bought a blu ray dvd instead of a regular one and i was wondering do you have to have a clu ray disc dvd player in order to watch it?
can i watch it on my wii?
Answer
Blu-ray is better than DVD and probably going to be the format of choice as HD-DVD appears to be going the way of Beta (beta vs. vhs tapes) and 8-track tapes.
If you accidentally bought a blu-ray disc and opened it, you are going to be stuck with it. Buying a $400 blu-ray player doesn't make sense for one disc. It also doesn't make sense if you don't have an HDTV.
So here are your options:
1. Buy a 1080p capable television and a $399.99 Sony Playstation 3 or Blu-ray player (for the same price...doesn't make sense, eh? Go with the ps3.) And from now on, you can get blu-ray discs and see movies in amazing quality.
2. If you already have a high-definition television, you can just buy a PS3 to watch blu-rays from now on.
3. Sell that blu-ray disc on eBay as "opened but never used" or trade it on CL to someone who has the movie or movies you are looking for. Since blu-ray is more expensive, you may be able to get someone to give you a couple of DVD's for that blu-ray disc.
I have a PS3 with a nice Sony 1080p XBR television. It rocks. However, if you aren't willing to shell out the bucks... WAIT.
Once you get a HDTV, you may need to update your cable/sat. receivers as well.
A Nintendo Wii plays a "Wii Optical disc" and cannot even play DVDs much less blu-ray.
