DVD Player or Blu Ray Player
DVD Player or Blu Ray Player
I need to replace the DVD player and am wondering whether to get another DVD player or to buy a Blu Ray player (which will also play DVDs)
I have quite a few retired couples staying at my cottage but also younger couples with one child - it sleeps 3.

As there's not a great deal of difference in the price between the two you might as well plump for a blu ray player. A lot of guests are able to stream their own films and music to and from their ipads these days so they never use the DVD player anyway Daddy'o, or is it Dude? We put in a blu ray when the DVD got stuck with a fitness disc and a chocolate coin, who watches fitness vids whilst eating chocolate pennies anyway?

If your TV has a spare hdmi input then definitely get a blu-ray but make sure it has a usb port and/or memory card slot. There are then many advantages which you can then add to your available facilities list. e.g the ability to play films and video rom memory sticks, or check your photos as well as play DVDs, CDs and Blue Ray and many also have smart facilities as well!! I find blu-ray players are often more tolerant when it comes to cd/dvd types and the more modern ones will play many movie file formats which some TVs can struggle with. Having got one we find we now use it all the time - but not so often for playing blu ray!!!
I don't profess to own anything here apart from my own opinion.

If you get one with an Ethernet or Wifi connection, then it can play from any device connected on your network as there will normally be a media player built into the Blue-ray player.
Many people do bring their own media these days and this makes it easier to play through your TV/speakers.
I got fed up with DVDs getting trashed so all mine are on a hard drive now.

So. Blue Ray is a big fish thing that lives in the Specific Osheon and is 40 feet from wing tip to wing tip and eats Shrill or Dolphins; and DVD is like a blood clot you get from flying CrazyJet to Majorka and sitting in the same position for hours without movering or anything.
Why would you want this in your holiday rental with a link to your telly? If you can get it on the NHS for nothing why would you pay Sky a subscratchion for it?

Just to minimize the thread creep, we need a new DVD and this discussion has made me consider a Blue Ray - although our TV is already smart, the tuxedo is very fetching
