I can't say for 4K, but for standard and 3D bluray, the PS3 is a pretty cracking all-rounder.
You can get a slim easily for under £100 second hand now.
If you hack them, I think they can be made region free, but I'm not 100% sure if that's just DVD or Blu-ray.
What are your requirements?
- Multiregional?
- 4k?
The first one was important to me in the UK as you often have to import discs but, if you are in the US it might not be a big deal. It might be worth having anyway in case you run into thr issue down the line.
You should probably go for a 4K Blu-ray player for future compatibility, make sure that it doesn't need an internet connection to work, and check that it works for your region (there are 3 Blu-ray regions)
My past couple of players have been Sony ones and if I ever needed another, I'd probably choose Sony again. They have a pretty good range of price points depending on what you need and I think they're typically multi-region too. Your main decisions with them are whether you want the 4k, HDR, WiFi and 4k upscaling features
Home Video (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, 4k)
On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.
So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.
