9 Top-Notch Blu-ray Players

Our "AVS Recommends" series survey found the PlayStation 3 to be the king of the Blu-ray players, but there are plenty of other great options too.



Still haven’t bought a Blu-ray player yet? None of those Black Friday deals were tempting enough for you? Maybe you’re scoping out today’s Cyber Monday deals looking for some budget Blu?

We asked the trusty souls over on the AVS Forum for their Blu-ray player recommendations as part of our “AVS Recommends” series, and the results leave us with one big question for you—do you like video games? Sony’s PlayStation 3 gaming console doubles as far and away the most recommended Blu-ray player by the AVS crowd.

It wasn’t even close if you combine Panasonic’s well-regarded standalone DMP-BD35 and DMP-BD55 models—they each received the same number of recommendations (or “votes” if you will), but put together were still nearly tripled by the PS3 supporters. Overall, recommendations for Sony’s PS3 totaled more than half of the nearly 300 responses. We took the top nine responses and put them into the slideshow for you (with MSRPs included—you’ll have to fend for yourself on pricing since this is the time of year for deals anyway—and please feel free to let us know the best price you’ve found for each product).
