| Review summary | The Panasonic DMP-BD60 is a capable and likeable Blu-ray player. We love the simple styling, even if it is unexciting, and we think this is likely to be a really popular machine. DivX support and an SD card reader add to the features, but this player is first and foremost about getting Blu-ray movies onto your TV with minimum fuss and maximum quality. Overall, it's a great performer and, though on the costly side, it's worth the money Read full review |
Samsung's BD-P1000 is the first Blu-ray player to arrive in the UK. High-definition image quality scales new heights using the 1080p format, but new technology always comes with an inflated price tag Read full review |
Pioneer's DV-989 is a top-of-the-range DVD player featuring cutting-edge technology and connectivity. The price will rule it out for many but, as a partner for a compatible high-end system, very few players offer the same performance with both movies and music Read full review |
Finally, a Blu-ray player from Sony for everyone to get excited about. This player is relatively quick to load discs, picture performance is superb, and its wonderful menu system and speed at dealing with interactive features make it well worth its bargain price. It's just a shame it took Sony so long to get this player on the market Read full review |

Toshiba BDX2000
Offers excellent value for money, especially if you buy it in time to take advantage of the LoveFilm deal
Panasonic DMP-BD45
Its pictures are great and it looks good, but it has zero extra features and costs far too much
Panasonic DMP-BD65
Great little machine that does the important things very well and offers a few tasty extras
Humax HD-FOX T2
Great, if a little expensive for most people, given the small number of hi-def channels broadcast on Freeview
