Blu-ray players/recorders

Philips BDP7200
The BDP7200 has a unique design and is Profile 1.1 compliant, but subpar Blu-ray image quality and the lack of onboard audio decoding options limit its appeal.
Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Remote control, Dolby Digital, Surround Sound, 9.3 lbs

LG BH200
The LG BH200 is an improvement on its groundbreaking predecessor, but an HD DVD/Blu-ray combo player just isn't an attractive product anymore.
Specs: Blu-Ray disc and HD DVD player, Tabletop, DTS decoder, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD decoder, Dolby Digital Plus, Surround Sound

Sharp BD-HP20U
The Sharp BD-HP20U is a decent Blu-ray player that can load some discs superfast, but there are better options out there.
Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Remote control, DTS decoder, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD decoder, Dolby Digital Plus, Surround Sound, 8.8 lbs

Samsung BD-P1400
The Samsung BD-P1400 delivers a mostly capable Blu-ray player at a relatively affordable price, but it's probably still better to hold off for newer models or a PlayStation3.
Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Remote control, DTS decoder, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD decoder, Dolby Digital Plus, Surround Sound, 9.3 lbs

Panasonic DMP-BD30K
The Panasonic DMP-BD30 offers excellent video quality and is Blu-ray Profile 1.1 compliant, but those who want high-resolution audio will need a cutting-edge AV receiver.
Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Universal remote control, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD decoder, Dolby Digital Plus, Surround Sound, 7.3 lbs

LaCie d2 External Blu-ray burner (2X BD-R/E)
The LaCie d2 Blu-ray burner offers good performance speeds, but it's still prohibitively expensive. Home users should wait for Blu-ray burners to drop in price and improve in performance.
Specs: BD-RE, 32x (CD) / 8x (DVD) / 2x (BD), 24x (CD) / 8x (DVD±R) / 4x (DVD±R DL) / 2x (BD-R) / 2x (BD-R DL), 16x (CD) / 6x (DVD-RW) / 8x (DVD+RW) / 2x (BD-RE) / 2x (BD-RE DL)

Sony BDP-S300
The BDP-S300 is a decent choice if you're limiting yourself to a relatively cheap, standard-design Blu-ray player, but everyone else should consider the competition.
Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Universal remote control, Dolby Digital, Stereo, 9.9 lbs

Sony BWU-100A Blu-ray Burner
The Sony BWU-100A Blu-ray burner is still priced out of range for most users, but if you have $700 to spare, it's a good choice for its range of media support and acceptable task speeds.
Specs: BD-RE, 32x (CD) / 8x (DVD) / 2x (BD), 24x (CD) / 8x (DVD±R) / 4x (DVD±R DL) / 2x (BD-R), 16x (CD) / 6x (DVD-RW) / 8x (DVD+RW) / 5x (DVD-RAM) / 2x (BD-RE)

Panasonic DMP-BD10A
If you're set on a standalone Blu-ray player, the Panasonic DMP-BD10A should definitely be on your short list.
Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Universal remote control, DTS decoder, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Surround Sound, Black, 10.4 lbs

Sony VAIO FZ180E/B
We can't imagine the market for a 15-inch home theater laptop with Blu-ray is very large, but the Sony VAIO FZ180 certainly fits the bill--even if it's preloaded with unwanted come-ons for other Sony products.
Specs: Intel Core 2 Duo (2 GHz), 2 GB DDR II SDRAM, 5.7 lbs, 15.4 in TFT active matrix, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
