Went to sit down and enjoy a concert dvd tonight, after some glitching from scratches I took the disk out to try to buff out some scratches. After doing that and placing the disk back in, the motor crapped out on the BR player.

Must of heard that I just got 250 bestbuy bucks from when my dad bought his new tv.

So with that said I have 250 bestbuy bucks, whats a good BR player, make note that I want to try to get it at my small local best buy which does not have a large selection. If something is worth getting I will make the trip else were.

Well the insignia ALMOST lasted a year. :biggrin:

    not from BB.

    let me make bernal smile and suggest the OppO BDP-83, for a big budget stretch but better sounding the BDP-83SE.

    I have no advise on BR but would be interested in knowing what you end up with and how it works. I too am considering a BR player in the same price range.
    In regards to the quote. I thinks audio systems and wives are a lot alike.(in more ways than one)but In the manner of that my wife always seems to "sense" when I have some "secret" money and am wanting to purchase something new,. I guess I need to work on my poker face.
    Good luck in your search and looking forward to hearing your decision for your next purchase.

    Well today I was in Best Buy just killing time when I saw on clearance a Denon DBP-1610 marked down from 400 to 140 so I grabbed it. Might not be the best one but I think its a great player I do hear the better clarity. I need to get the remote programed so I can control it and upgrade it, as it did not come with one.

    They didn't have the Sony ES player that's been posted on another thread?

    It was only $99 bucks. Bought one and actually ended up giving it away.
