My tip: Don't buy one with Wifi in it, they're a gimmick and probably won't work as well streaming HD from Netflix etc. as they'd like you to think. Instead, get one without and put the difference towards some homeplug AV200 adapters to save trailing ethernet cable everywhere.

That might not be a bad idea. I could get the Sony
BDP-S1100 for about £50. what do two good AV200 adapter cost? £20-25?
I've never used these things before. are they reliable? even in an old house with old wiring?

Edit: They work fine. Never had a problem with the 7 I have in use here at home.

I've got a cheap Toshiba blu-ray player on account of it being region free. It doesn't have the networky stuff at all, but I have something else to do that. Anyway, it seems fine!

As Matt said, homeplugs are going to be more reliable than wifi. Have a look for some AV500 ones though, better performance and I'm sure I've seen some at a similar price.
The AV200 ones will no doubt do the job fine, but y'know, bigger numbers are always better!

I'd like to get rid of my BR player for one that's region-free. That way I could also ditch the region-free DVD player. But, although not a Sony ho, I'd prefer Sony because it all works together and I have teh lazies

I feel like I'm doing very well having never bought a blu-ray player (and therefore never bought a blu-ray disc).

Been kinda thinking about getting homeplugs. But... Ideally I'd like them unsecured*, does anyone still make them this way, do you know?
(*due to laziness. The prospect of having to go down/up two flights of stairs every time they desync is offputting)
