I'd definately say Pioneer when it comes to Blu-Ray. You could also take a look at Panasonic and Sony which are rather super too.  Id definately stay away from Samsung. Nice LCD screens but low quality mass produced in everything else.  Got to admit, when we used Panasonic/Technics equipment, they were used for 8 hours a day 365days of the year and we got 10 years use out of them - even B&O don't last that long!

(Based on Panasonic VHS video recorders using SONY E240 tapes recording station output in LP 8 hours a day, everyday)

Arh ok Kai,  Does Panasonic not offer an app like that?  I know that the Sony & Panasonic can be controlled with the Beo4 etc.

Ive also seen a new super tiny Sony Blu-Ray player thats retailing for under 100 Euro

Panasonic DMP-BDT 310. Superb, lots of features and controllable via Panasonic iPhone app.

I agree with DrDimitris! This little Panasonic has been getting the most amazing reviews for a few months now. Whilst the Oppo is supposed to be excellent although very expensive, buying a disc system is very much buying into yesterday's formats so the Panasonic probably makes the most sense at no more than 200Euro

The Oppo 93 costs £499 for the region free DVD,and fixed Region B Blu-Ray version,or £599 for the totally region free version using the PRO hardware mod kit.

Since both the 93,and 95 are 3D Blu-Ray capable they are future proofed.

Additionally,Oppo are excellent for issuing firmware updates.

I would definately go for one which is supported by the STB-C. At the moment I not familiar with the latest version. But the ps3 sure is. But it isn't the easiest one to use.
