Choosing a Blu-ray Player?

nanokitten

Hi, I'd appreciate some advice on choosing a blu-ray player as a present.

I guess the budget is £150 £200 and am looking for one with lots of features: DivX playback, decent picture quality and preferably some way of streaming movies from a PC (not sure of the best way to do this).

any suggestions would be greatfully received.

About the main feature I would look for is that it is a "profile 2" player - a lot of cheaper models are only profile 1 (the difference is some of the abilities with things like picture in picture etc).

I'm not sure how many currently support dixv playback (I can't remember seeing one), or streaming from a PC - I suspect at the current time the best bet for all those abilities is probably going to be a PS3 (expensive).

Id suggest you up the budget for starters (Purely due to you wanting to stream movies as WELL as bluray)
Id also be suggesting a PS3 to cover all the bases
