  Sony PlayStation 3 |
HDBlu says: Regardless of who thinks what game console is better, bottom line is that the PlayStation 3 is a great value if you're in the market for a Blu-ray player. Pair this player with its optional bluetooth remote control for maximum ease of use. Buy it at: Amazon |

Panasonic DMP-BD10 |
HDBlu says: Early reviews are that this second-out Blu-ray player is superior to the first Samsung release. Expect better picture quality and load times, as well as audio capabilities (once firmware updates are released). Buy it at: Amazon |

Samsung BD-P1000 |
HDBlu says: One of the first Blu-ray options to become available. Outputs video at a full 1080p, a first among high-def players, but the benefits aren't readily apparent. Keep in mind that you'll need the right TV to enjoy full 1080p. Read about it in our summary of user reviews. Buy it at: Amazon |

Sony BDP-S1 |
HDBlu says: Full 1080p output, but enthusiasm for this player overall is mixed. Our biggest complaint is the lack of Dolby TrueHD decoding. Buy it at: Amazon |

Philips BDP9000; BDP900/37 |
HDBlu says: Philips' first Blu-ray entry. Includes a 10-in-2 memory card reader. Buy it at: Amazon | Wal-mart |
