The player can be bought from Argos or Tesco for £37 if you don't want these films. It's a very basic player with no lights or indicators on the front but will play every file format I've tried both on disc and USB drive-there is a USB socket on the front

This looks like the BD-J4500 which is not a SMART Blu-ray player.

looking at the specs this player has no wifi, blutooth or ethernet connectivity so won't be smart. It's not 3d but does get quite good reviews as a very basic player.
Step up 5 can be sold to CEX for £0.90, certainly not £12

My only experience is my own TV which allows me to use the same remote for both TV and PS3 and automatically changes channel to the PS3 when I power it on. Is that not common across all Sony TVs in the last few years?

The Samsung BD-J4500 Blu-Ray player was found on clearance at £30 in Sainsbury's a few days ago.

To be a little more specific to the question - as others have said no this doesn't but an Amazon fire stick or android box will providing you have broadband and your tv has an HDMI input.
Hope this helps.

No, to do that you'd have to feed oily fish into the disc tray.

YES. but....
Most Blu-ray players will have some Smart connectivity - eg. Netflix streaming video works with several Blu-ray player brands -- including LG, Magnavox, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony and Toshiba.
The apps available will vary from brand to brand.

Will this play blu rays better than a ps3?
johnthehuman to HarryXD

Define "Better".
They both play Blu-Rays, to an extent that you can see the moving images and hear the audio. Do you need it to do any more than that?

Unless you literally only need a Blu-Ray player and nothing else, I would recommend an old PS3 instead. It won't cost you much more, will play games, has very mature software (i.e. less bugs, more features, good performance), has other streaming apps such as Netflix and Amazon Video, and will integrate with a Sony TV if you have one.

They don't really integrate with Sony TVs, I've never seen it actually work on any Sony TV I've tried it with and I've had several to try it on in the last few years.

A DVD player bundled with 50 movies starring top Hollywood actors just couldn't be beat!

Don't understand who is voting hot on this as this is now old tech.
If you have loads of blu rays you'll already have a blu ray player. If you don't have any blu rays you're probably not starting to buy them now and will mostly be relying on downloadable / streamable formats.

Some people will be buying an additional player, some will be replacing a broken player. Others will have been sticking with DVD until the price comes down, which thanks to the launch of UltraHD Blu-ray it has.

The films are mostly pants so is this really much of a deal? I think i'd rather buy the player separately and get some films i'd actually want.

£70 for a blue-ray player? Sounds a bit overpriced IMO.

A daft question, will this blu-ray player play ordinary dvd's?
grahamclarke to Reality
5 Dec 161#17
It should do, I've never know any blu ray player that doesn't play dvd's

This reminds me of those old 'Beadle Bundles' they used to sell DVD players with. Decent deal though, heat added.
