My DVD player died in the middle of MST3K last night. It choked to death on Pod People, as far as I can tell. Its last words flashed on the little LED display: "No...no more...no more...bad movies...." I did a little necromancy today with a screwdriver and some Q-tips, to no avail.
So, time for a new DVD player. It seems like it would be peevish to not take this opportunity to upgrade to Blu-Ray, now that the format wars are over. Has anyone got any advice or experience? Key features: backwards compatibility with DVD and CD and the various hyphenates; a sub-$500 price tag; component video outputs; good surround sound support. My TV isn't HD, but my next one presumably will be.
