On the last day of Chanukah, I bought my wife one of these: Olevia Blu-Ray player which is actually this player rebranded. Initially many DVDs and one of the Blu-Ray disks I bought her didn't work. A search through the net found this firmware upgrade which wasn't for the exact model number (BD-100) but worked perfectly. Now all of the discs we've tried work. My PlayStation 3 still is a nicer player, but it was a lot more than $200 and isn't nearly as user-friendly as a DVD player.
