Smart blu ray player ?

Am wanting to get a smart bluray player and wanted some advice on which might be best recommended.
Am using a Wii to get Netflix in our middle room , having only discovered how to do this recently.
As our DVD player has just packed up thought I would replace it with a smart bluray/dvd player and we would be able to watch Netflix in the lounge with it , which would be great.
I don't know a great deal about them other than looking online and popping into Tesco's.Could anybody recommend a decent Wi-Fi model (not sure about Ethernet) that we would be able to get Netflix on ? My budget would be up to £100.
Any replies would be gratefully received.
Thanks:money:

I have a Toshiba BDX5300KB 3D smart player, but it does not have netflix and i'm not sure how to get netflix on it, nor how to get any apps on it, it also has bbc iplayer, picasa and the now defunct Acetrax i do wish i could remove that one.
This one seems very good, it has netflix http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1299968.htmOwed out = lots. :cool:0 -
Take a look at this:
http://www.lg.com/uk/blu-ray-dvd-players-recorders/lg-BP630
i've the previous version BP620 and it's reliable and works great with LoveFilm and Netflix (Currently on a "West Wing" binge for the past few days! Watched 3 seasons so far..)Laters

Any ideas how i can remove apps from a smart dvd player? And add new ones?Owed out = lots. :cool:0 -
I'd go with the same make as your TV so they link-up over the HDMI and share the remote.
NB IMHO Lovefilm is miles better than Netflix for choices0 -
Get yourself to somewhere like Richer Sounds rather than Tesco's for AV equipment (see http://www.richersounds.com/products/home-cinema/home-cinema-separates/blu-ray#1 for their options)
I have a Panasonic one, no idea if you can add apps or not as I didnt want it for this use as I've already a dozen different "smart" devices but somewhere like RicherSounds will be able to recommend something that will and of cause if then it doesnt, you've got comeback on them for miss selling.
I'd also say to have a look at the remote before buying too. Some are trying to be fancy but on a tight budget and they dont all work. My bluray remote is terrible but as I use an all in one that controls it, the tv, the avr etc it wasnt a concern for me0
