    Its time to replace the media PC in the living room.

    I want to pickup and inexpensive blu-ray player. Any recommendations in the $100-$150 range?

    I just went for a Sony 3d bluray from Sam's club. Works good with wireless n. Supports Netflix but not vudu. Also only plays certain media types from USB. I believe just mpeg

    I have a Vizio with built-in wireless. Checking out reviews on them, they either fail in the first week, or work forever. Mine has worked perfect so far - 9 months in.

    Keep an eye open for built-in or WIFI compatible. Compatible/ready units need another box to be purchased for WIFI to work.

    I bought a Toshiba BDX2250 when my Sony Blu Ray stopped playing the newer discs and I couldn't get it updated. It's worked great so far with both Blu Ray discs and DVD's. I don't use any of the WiFi features, so I can't comment on that.

    For the price range you've suggested, I'd say go with a Samsung player. They have a few models that would work in that range.

    I ended up getting Amazon.com: Panasonic DMP-BDT220 Integrated Wi-Fi 3D Blu-ray DVD Player: Electronics

    I found it at best buy and got it for 136 after taxes.

    So far I like it. I just can't get it to see my DNLA server.
