Standalone BR Player Recommendations for $200 or less?

Sometimes buying the same brands will allow you to use one remote for both with no special programming, so that can be a plus.

If you're using HDMI and your TV and Blu-Ray player both support HDMI 1.3 with HDMI-CEC, (called all sorts of things like BraviaLink, AnyNet+, etc) you can use your TV's remote to control both without having to punch in remote codes.
 
I have the DMP-65K and it seems fine. The Netflix implementation is pretty spartan but I guess that's typical of most Blu Ray players.
 
Query is useless without criteria (features, uses, etc.). Panny best for just plain use. Samsung and LG better for fancier streaming (DLNA etc.). And so on.
 
DLNA is cool. WiFi not so much. Ethernet would be used instead.

I just want high-value...great picture, fast booting, reliable, etc.
 
I picked up a Sony BDP-S470 for $120. It works great. However I think a PS3 would be better. As I think the PS3 has the same streaming services and such anyways. Plus it plays games of course.

I assume after the Holidays more Blu-Ray players with Wifi will be coming out at the same price points.

Right now I'm using a Powerline networking kit I got at Monoprice which works for those devices that don't have Wireless. 🙂
