    Looking for a Good Blu Ray Player

    Please tech savy BGers help me

    I was looking for a Blu-Ray player that plays netflix. Almost every Blu-Ray player I look at on amazon has reviews for it stating, things like Discs freeze, some Discs need a micro SD card to run on that Blu-Ray model, or other dumb things like that. And the bad reviews tend to be almost as high or half the amount of good reviews (which I generally stay away from those products). Everywhere I've heard everyone says get a PS3, but this is for my parents so I'm really trying to avoid the 300 price tag if they're something that can do it that's cheaper. ($200 Max most likely anything higher I'd rather get a PS3).

    Thank you in advance for your help BG Community

    I just bought this one for a relative and while I haven't had a chance to judge for myself, it was picked as a best-of and I believe it does what you're looking for. The S370 model comes without wi-fi and possibly other features and is suggested as a step down from the S570, but the price difference was really small between the two on Amazon.

    If your parents have internet connection at home, may as well get a PS3 (used if you want it cheaper) to take advantage of streaming movies/shows.

    I got a Sony-BDP-BX37 a few months ago and it has worked great for me. Can stream Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and a bunch of others and I can also stream movies from my pc.
