That way, when I'm home, I can hook it up to my t.v but on the road, can still enjoy the blueray. This takes care of two of my needs.

If you're starting to think that's most likely what you're going to get, I can suggest some computers on that theme. For now though I've listed some quality Blu-ray players below that fall into your budget range and offer a variety of features. If just basic picture quality is all that matters to you and saving money is key, you can't go wrong with the Sony BDP-S360, which is available on amazon right now for $230. Check out Cnet's review of it <a href="http:\/\/reviews.cnet.com\/blu-ray-players-recorders\/sony-bdp-s360\/4505-9991_7-33539691.html\?&amp\;subj=re&amp\;tag=centerColumnArea1.2" target="_blank">here</a> The LG BD370 is also an affordable options that throws in features like Netflix and youtube streaming, however it lacks somewhat in picture quality compared to top players. Unless you are extremely into video quality though, you might never notice. Here's CNET's review as well <a href="http:\/\/reviews.cnet.com\/blu-ray-players-recorders\/lg-bd370\/4505-9991_7-33485559.html\?tag=contentMain\;contentBody" target="_blank">here</a>. At the upper end of your budget though is the LG BD390 which has been highly touted as one of the best stand alone Blu-ray players on the market. It too has netflix, and youtube, but can also stream it over WiFi. It's image and disc load times are also superb. The trouble is finding it at the lower end of its retail price spectrum, $340 bucks. Currently though I am seeing it on Amazon at that price <a href="http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LG-Network-Blu-ray-Disc-Player\/dp\/B001UQ6F5M\/ref=sr_1_1\?ie=UTF8&amp\;s=electronics&amp\;qid=1247146170&amp\;sr=8-1" target="_blank">here</a>. Just add it to your cart and it should be around $340. Hopefully this helps you on your quest and let me know if you need more advice. -Ben Well the Laptop with a blu-ray drive is a good idea, as long as you're willing to watch video on a screen that size.

Maybe $200 - $350 ? Another alternative I was considering would satisfy two needs of mine - a laptop with a Blueray drive. I was looking at this: Sony Vaio VGN-FW351J/H or something similar. I recently donated my computer to my sister who had her brand new MacBook(s) stolen twice in a month, so I need a replacement. Nothing in mind particularly. Maybe $200 – $350 ?
