Toshiba 26DV615Y

The Toshiba 26DV615Y won't blow you away with image quality or features but it is perfect as a second television and the integrated DVD player is excellent value at this price.
Scene It? Box Office Smash

The renewed Kogan Blu-ray player is a bargain, with many of the niceties of much more expensive players but you can't expect video precision for the price.
Toshiba 22DV615Y LCD TV/DVD Combo

Toshiba's 22DV615Y LCD TV/DVD combo unit is compact and simple to use, but screen quality could be better.
Philips GoGear Aria (8GB)

The GoGear Aria may be cheaper than a comparable iPod Nano, but it's leagues behind in terms of quality.
LG BD390

The LG BD390's combination of excellent image quality, super-fast loading times and rich features make it one of our top choices among premium stand-alone Blu-ray players.
Sony BDP-S560

The Sony BDP-S560 Blu-ray player features a Wi-Fi adapter and BD-Live support, but doesn't appear to be able to match competitors for features.
Apple iPod Nano (5th generation)

Not sure which new iPod to choose? The Nano's fifth incarnation wins hands down, with FM tuner and video camera being more than just cheap gimmicks.
