Wow, £250 from PLAY with 4 free movies (£199 from Amazon) and £399 from these guys, I suppose it makes the rental look better value
![]() No problem at all using any Blu-ray player with a HD Ready display connected via HDMI and should quite simply be the best picture you have ever seen on the TV. The audio would be at it's best via a dedicated amp rather than the TV's speakers though. |

It will work fine, however this is not one of the best BD Players, just about the slowest to load & has problems playing quite a few discs. You would be far better seeing if they can rent you a Samsung BD P1400 or the new BD P1500.

![]() ![]() Regarding Casino Royale- you should have got the Australian release which is uncut unlike the UK and US discs. I would cancel. You could buy for half that and it would be yours and you'd probably get an extende warranty included too. You are throwing money away badly |

Got to agree with Dennisspooner this is a totaly unreal price & nothing short of daylight robbery!
The Sony player can be picked up for £200, the Panasonic BD30 for £299 or the Best one at the moment (feature wise) Samsung BD P1500 for £185 Even if it was £17.99 Month it would not be cheap but you are going to be paying 4 x that! cancel it mate, don't get robbed.

Sorry but your occupation is "looking for work" how can you justify that kind of money a month on a rented item

Do without for ten or so weeks, then buy a player that'll be all yours. They've seen you coming.

Of course you can "Get what you want" but people are only trying to help & advise you! The best answer as already advised would be to wait for 10 weeks.....it's not that long you know! other than that and I would not usually advise this but if you truly can't wait; Buy one from a catalogue, whilst you are still ripped off for the weekly payments it will be nothing like the amount you will be paying. In fact I would say it would only work out at a third of the price.

Great Universal catalogue: Panasonic Blu-ray player £349.
£7.29 for 52 weeks (interest free) and it's yours to keep! So you pay £349 in a year rather than paying £935. |

Blu-Ray players and Discs are coming down now in price. Check Play.com for latest Blu-Ray discs prices etc. As for renting?? dont be daft! The players can be bought cheaply now than a year ago on the knock, even taking the credit crunch into account. Watch the APR though!
