So it's time to upgrade mom's entertainment center and the old dvd player isn't cutting it anymore. An HDTV is coming sometime soon, so the idea is to go ahead and upgrade to a blu-ray. Now I haven't really kept up with this stuff for awhile so I've no idea what is considered to be good these days.

We were looking at this:

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-BDP-S570-...4/ref=lh_ni_t_

Sony s570

The main reasons being that it has a built in wifi (won't have to go buy a 30 buck adapter), but more importantly it streams netflix, pandora, and a few others.

Is this player a good value or are there some others out there that would be better? It HAS to stream netflix, and would be very ideal if it could do pandora and perhaps something else. Also preferably in the 100-150 range, although the s570 does go over a bit that's ok. I will probably be looking out on black friday for any deals in this department (anyone think these will drop?).
