Which Blu Ray player with built in wifi?

fremar

I'm looking to buy a Blu ray player with wifi built in, but I'm unsure which to choose. I've been dithering between a Samsung or Sony model, but now I've confused myself altogether.
Does anyone have a recommendation?

We went for a Samsung from the clearance section in Richer Sounds. It was ex display, so slightly marked, but just cosmetic. Model was BDF6500 and cost 79.95, but think we got £10 with a voucher from the website/VIP club. Needed to use the wifi booster we had from Sky because the signal in bedroom (Router in living room)wasn't strong enough to stream Netflix, but it's a good player.
Definitely worth looking at Richer Sounds for deals and they are very knowledgable if you have questions.

Thanks Ruth_Honey, I never thought about Richer Sounds, I'll check them out.

I've always found them very good. When we bought our Blu ray player they even gave us some mugs to take home for free too.

I don't think the Richers staff realised the irony of giving mugs to customers.
I will be popping down to my local shop today though, so thanks again for your advice.

Richer Sounds is what I would recommend, been using one for 2 years now - neat.

I have the Sony BDP-S790, which is highly recommended by What HiFi magazine as one of the best all time blu-ray players. I have it, in-built wifi works brilliantly and the picture and sound quality are amazing. I had the sony BDP-S780 before so this was only 1 model up but it really is that good. Been out a while now so might be cheap (sub £100) if you look around

If catch up services are important to you then Samsung has all the main players - iPlayer, 4OD and Demand 5.

I have a Samsung BD-F6500 and can thoroughly recommend it.
