blu ray player at costco image
Amon
Reasonably priced meaning like $80 max. I know Oppo is the best, but I'm not spending as much or more money than I would on a Blu-Ray player.
Answer
i got mine at Costco. It is a Phillips and it was 50 dollars. It's pretty slow, but it plays a lot of formats. It has a usb port so you can play formats off of a thumb drive if you want. And it can play CDRs with different formats.

Why won't my blu ray player play my Breakfast at Tiffanys movie?
Rebecca
Its a brand new blu ray movie and it will not play, every time I push play it just does not do anything and stays on the menu screen. Does anyone know what to do? Please help!
Answer
Could it be that your Blu-Ray player is slowly having problems. Whatever company and model it is. I had this problem when the remake of True Grit was released back in June. I got it the second day or third day. The first time I put it in my Pioneer BDP-51FD it would not play, after it finished saying closed and went to loading. It would stay at that to a certain point(I would guess it always the same amount of time), and then a message would show up on the HDTV screen and player's little screen saying "Can't Play This Disc" and Unknown Disc. Back then I didn't know what was going on, The first seven time I have try it in the player, it did not play at all, and the same thing happen. Altogether I try the disc in the player 22 times with in a week and three days. It only worked three different times in the player. Then my guess was that either the disc hates my player or the player hates the disc. Last of all that disc has problems, but I just return it to Costco. Before doing that I did try the disc on my friend's PS3, and it work the first time in there. I also tryed it on my uncle's Sony Blu-Ray player, it also worked the first time in there. By the way don't forget to update your Blu-Ray player's firmware, IF you never done it before. When I first got Terminator 2: Judgment Day Skeynet Edition it would not load up to the menu screen or stay at the loading wait. So I looked online for info, and that got me to do my very first firmware update, and NOT leave it at the defult firmware that came along. This was back in late May or early June of 2010. After I updated the firmware to 1.65 from the company's site, the Blu-Ray played with NO problem. And that was way before the problem I have now.
Move forward to mid August certain Blu-Rays I got way before the release of True Grit(remake) had worked in the my Pioneer player with no problems. The first one I notice with that problem was Casino, I had got that back in early April of this year, and it had always worked. Ever since mid August more and more started not to play on the player, with the same problem as True Grit. What I have notice was when it would not play and with the same messages is that there is no fan like spining sound, when it does disc loading. I have also sat in front of the Blu-Ray player, with the TV sound turn down tolisten and noice no fan like spining sound. When I first had this problem I had also found two forums with sections devoted to my player. One is a section at http://www.avsforum.com, with 992 pages, and at http://www.blu-ray.com. As time went on the Blu-Rays that did not play on the Pioneer, that had worked before with no problems are The Magnificen Seven, Cop Out, Miami Vice, Plubic Enimies, Never Say Never Again(sometime works sometime don't), Spy Game, Apocalypse Now, Die Hard With A Vengeance(sometime works sometime don't), and X-Men Origins: Wolerine. I Have not try all of my Blu-Rays in the player. Sometime new ones I get will not play first time in the player like Taken, Pulp Fiction, Rounders, X-Men: First Class and The Guns Of Navarone
What the people on the two forums have said was either one of these is the problem
The laser lens is dirty (Use a Blu-ray laser lens cleaner to clen it the kind that come with a brush. IF it more stubben, open up the player and use Q-tip to clean it.)
The laser lens is starting to die
The drive could be starting to die( one person said the drive for the model I have, have known problem)
They say it has nothing to do with the firmware upadate, which I did do since I updated mine from 1.65 to 1.71 when there was problems with playing True Grit and then to 1.72 when my older Blu-Rays strted not to play that use to with no problem. And still the problem is still there for me.
One thing no one have said was how to tell is the laser lens just dirty and it not starting to die at all.
When I told my uncle about it, he told me it parts can't be dying at all. It must be like a record player when ther a little piece of bread crum on it, it will not play the record in it right way. I have yet to buy a blu-ray laser lens cleaner and try that. I know all those disc will work in another player. Right now 100% no problems with the DVD and CD side of the Blu-Ray player.
The best thing for you is to ask a home theater expert or store a worker that sell this kind of stuff like at Best Buy and Magnolia Hi-Fi or those good mom and pop kinds. Also try the disc at friend and relative's player to see does it work. Last of all look for forums devoted to your player, and post questions.
