Anybody have a blu-ray player ?  What would you recommend ?

[Gaffers]

PS3 with optional remote.  Good value when you consider that the firmware is flashable and most others (if not all) are not yet.

Oh yeah and the games are pretty good too

PS3 is way, way unreliable IMO (well, IMO and the thousands of other IMO's out there).

If you really want a BD player, then it's either standalone (£50), PC based (£50), or £150 for a PC based player/rewriter.

I use my PS3 alot and dont have any probs at all

1 in 200 consoles, or 0.5% not exactly common.

Big killer is lack of ventilation

360 consoles started with about the same error rate for the same time period the study was undertaken, didn't take long for the RROD to become a "standard feature".

You are right about the ventilation though, but that problem is down solely to the manufacturers trying to cram all that crap in to a small as package as possible (so it IS a design fault).

But that would kill anything, not just PS3s....0.5%  I'll sleep a bit better now.  Cant do without my BD films
