By Eugene Banks

Everyone nowadays wants to have the biggest and best of everything. We no longer want a 32 inch television in our living rooms. We now we want the 64 inch flat screen with all of the bells and whistles. And Blu-ray DVD players are a recent addition that make watching television that much better. Not only are you getting a crystal clear picture, but you are getting perfect surround sound to boot. Before you go out and start spending your money though, here are a few tips that you should know about.

These players first hit the market in 2006. Since then, we have seen the Blu-ray market grow and expand rapidly. Many popular companies are creating versions and models that are affordable for some and far too expensive for others. The fact is, there are so many models on the market, it is easy to compare and find the best one for your needs.

So make sure that you do all of your research about these players before you take the plunge. Some people do not realize what they are buying and end up spending money on features they do not want or need. Because there are so many brands out there, it may take time to find the best brand for the best price.

Make sure that you pay attention to price when looking around online. The cost of a Blu-ray player will run you about $400. Now there are even some that can cost around $900, so be careful of impulse purchases. Also, be aware of the cost of the Blu-ray DVDs as well. In order to get the true Blu-ray experience you need to have the right format for movies.

The movies that you can buy for your new Blu-ray player will cost about $20. When they first came out, there were only a few titles, costing well over $30. As time goes on, prices will go down and these DVDs will be sold for closer to the standard DVD price. Of course you can always do all of your shopping online where it is possible to realize greater savings.

Online stores have the best prices because they have overstock and want to move product. This situation leads to significant discounts. Of course you can always look at an auction site that will sell used Blu-ray players. This could be a good option when you are on a strict budget.

Make sure that you take the time to pick out a few different models and compare them. Look at the features that you will be receiving as well as the cost and the other specs.
