[quote name='iluvmywife']^^^ I don't know, buying used is to me is a waste of money, how do you know that the previous owner did not totally abuse it? What happens if it stops working in a couple of months. Since the OP and some people don't want a PS3 and since the thread is titled "Decent Blu Ray Player for 120-ish?, I think people want to know about deals on stand alone players.
Besides, some people want to run an HDMI from the PS3 direct to the TV and want to run an optical straight from the player to a receiver. This is not possible with PS3, best I can remember.
+2 and now when you buy it you can grab $40 worth of movies free instore on the same receipt. Deal is good thru 4/23 I believe.[/QUOTE]
PS3s have an optical out, and HDMI of course, so why not?
It's hard to recommend any stand-alone player with the PS3 around, since it's one of the best blu-ray players on the market. Honestly, any player at $120 or less would do for the simple task of playing most blu-ray discs, and if you want more features, then you should buy the PS3. You won't find a better blu-ray player for less than $500 or so than the PS3.
