Shortlist the Philips BDP3000 Blu-ray player if you rank performance, design and value higher than features.
Expert review by : Jamie Carter (techradar.com)
Philips' Blu-ray player is a good value deck that excels with HD movies
Connects to broadband instantly ; High detail ; Excellent onscreen menus
Some judder ; BD Live needs USB stick ; No playback from USB port
Similarly priced machines just outgun it on features, but this good value deck triumphs on pure high-definition detail
Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
The Philips BDP-3000 Blu-ray player has a decent picture and lively sound – all at a tantalisingly affordable price
Ultra-competitive price ; intuitive interface and smart design ; detailed, lively sound and decent picture
No DTS-HD decoding ; not as sharp or subtle as rivals ; sound lacks solidity
A solid performer at a tantalisingly affordable price

BD-Live, DivX playback, excellent value pictures, good upscaling
No media USB port, external memory stick needed for BD-Live

Philip\'s latest Blu-ray player, the BDP3000, is reasonably priced and looks good. With all the HD bases covered it\'s a great entry-level device.
Sleek looks and full compliment of connectivity options.
No DivX or MP3 playback via USB.
Expert review by : Alistair Dabbs (reghardware.co.uk)
Easy to set up and use but hardly the cheapest nor the most versatile Blu-ray player around.
The BDP3000 is a solidly built Blu-ray, DVD and CD media player that performs extremely well. It also provides a decent range of video-out and audio-out ports, plus an Ethernet connection. It is not an all-round media player, though: there is no...

Neat styling and good build quality. Strong picture quality. Great value. Simple user interface, easy set-up
No front USB connection or playback of movies etc from USB connector on back. No Eject button on the remote - you have to use the one on the machine itself. Limited built-in memory

All in all for the price it is an exceptional blu-ray device, But hey its a Sony so you wont be let down.
Has Vudu Netflix, Hudu and qriocity entertainment services, plus a slew of other cool extra net based entertainment
My MP3 player will not work on it
