Blu-Ray DVD Player

A few days ago our DVD/DVR player died. Harry and I have talked about getting a Blu-Ray but never really saw the need. I mean we got our Big Screen HDTV for Christmas just last year and I knew we would be getting a Blu-Ray one day. Well that day has come. Harry and I headed out to Best Buy to select one. They had about six different ones. One lower end, and one higher end and four in the middle. We opted for a middle one and talking with friends previously we knew a little bit about the machines. So with a little bit more info from the sales person we got a Samsung BD-P1600 DVD Blu-Ray Player (Besides playing Blu-Ray DVD's you can instantly watch movies streamed from Netflix, music from Pandora and enjoy special interactive features with BD-Live 2.0. It's also Wi-Fi compatible, meaning you can buy an USB adaptor to plug into your computer and the machine and you can watch movies off your computer) .

We were going to get a Blu-Ray DVD to play in it but we couldn't figure out a good one to buy. We didn't want to buy DVD's that we already have in SD but couldn't find an HD one.. so we opted to watch a classic TNG episode instead. The colors were brighter and the picture a bit sharper but I'm really looking forward to buy our first HD movie.
