Question about
What is the best Blu-Ray payer with WiFi under $200
I have most bleeding edge gadgets, but never got a blu-ray player. I always consumed only downloaded and streamed content. I just now started to wanted to buy series with "Behind the Scenes" stuff. Can you guys recommend a good player with WiFi for less than 200. More than that, I would probably just look at a PS3.

I would say a PS3. It give you more. If you are looking to only play movies it is still a good option. You get lots of content and a web browser so you can get content from different websites that is doesn't have.

I agree with @speed9dev, the Playstation 3 is a great Blu-ray player and DVDs look spectacular (DVDs look insanely better than my surround sound/blu-ray player). It's very easy to use and set up. And using a wireless controller or remote will give a much better experience than using a traditional IR remote. If you use Netflix, the PS3 has probably the best experience and supports 5.1 surround and subtitles.
WalMart and Target are both currently selling PS3s for $250 online. I'd definitely spend the extra $50.
I've never shopped around for Blu-ray players, so there may possibly be something just as good in your price range, but I'd check out a PS3 if you get the chance.

PS3! Yeah it's $250 but you get sooo much more. Netflix, Hulu+, NFL Sunday Ticket, MLBtv, NHL gamecenter, Vudu, storing music, videos and and pictures to show on your tv, free games and the list goes on.
I bought a wifi blu ray player as a gift last xmas for $140 and since not only did Sony take that model off the market to sell a more expensive similar model, but the PS3 is just the best value in entertainment. It's the cheapest game system to own (no hard drives, wifi adapters or multiple attachments to controllers are needed) and it just works great. You can buy a $5 adaptor to use one PS2 controller!
You can get them used now for about $200 if you are stuck on that price and if you can find an old one you can play old PS2 games, though those are hard to come by and there are pros and cons between the different PS3 models.
