Any good moderately priced bluray players?

Hi everybody,

I'm in the market for a moderately priced bluray player. I don't need 3D buy I do want a player that has streaming services like Netflix and Pandora.

It will be used for movies in the family room with my main two channel system. I don't really need multi channel analog outputs since the main system is two channel only.
Good picture quality and good contruction are the main criteria.

I'm sure people will recommend Oppo. The question is are there any good quality players between the big box store $79 players and Oppo's $500 player? What's available around $250-300, and are they much better than entry level?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for all the ideas. I think I will look at one of the Sonys or Panasonics.

My main system includes a Linn Unidisk-SC which plays pretty much everything except Bluray and has digital inputs.

I plan to connect the Bluray player to the tv with HDMI and a digital connection to the Unidisk. Sounds like much more than the $100-150 Sony is overkill.

The older Oppos are attractive but they don't do any of the streaming stuff. I also don't really need to pay a lot for better two channel analog outs.

Thanks again
