I'm sure this has been asked a few thousand times so I will apologize fo this now, but I am looking for a blu-ray player recommdation. Here is my deal; I'm not going to pay $500 for Oppo. I am sure they are great, have read that in many places including here, but the are out of my budget. The other thing is that technology is advancing this type of equipment so fast that it doesn't seem to make sense to invest a lot of money in something like a blu-ray player. I may be wrong in saying that, but new equipment seems to come and go within months. I tend to do my comparing with Consumer Reports and I saw where two LG players (BD690 and BD670) acutally tested higher than the Oppo BDP-93. When I see things like that it makes me question spending that amouth that much more. You go over to the Amazon ratings and Oppo is #1, followed by a Panasonic ($140) and a Sony ($120). It seems like a 1080p signal is a 1080p signal, that being the case should I shop players that have better rating on wi-fi applications? I see that as being the more important part of the players these days as the wi-fi programming is starting to really take off. What are all your thoughts and feelings on this subject? Given what I have said above, what do you recommend? Thanks, Adam.
