Samsung Series 8 3D Blu-ray player BD-H8500 Dual Tuner 500Gb 3D Netflix Plex - $318.40 from JB Hi-Fi

50

This box has

  • 3D Blu Ray player
  • Dual HD tuner with 500Gb Hard Disk
  • Apps selection including Plex and Netflix (if you have a VPN service like UnblockUS)
  • Lots of other applications like Youtube and facebook
  • excellent presentation and easy to use with high wife acceptance factor

Originally released on the market for $499. JB and others have this on sale at the moment for $318.40. Normal street price is around the $400 - $420 mark.

I think this box offers an excellent media experience especially when you use this with Plex (a media server). Easy to use, nothing to configure and it just works. For a little over $300 it's a bargain (in my opinion)..

    Don't like using plex through bluray players. They all have cinavia protection. Really glad it's not in their TVs

    • yep. thats an important thing to point out.

  • Have to really want it for an all-in-one device.

    $140 currently for normal 3d bluray player (samsung) + WD TV for about $134 currently is the same for $276 combined. Obviously no tuner or inbuilt hdd. But those are regular prices right now.

    Add to that that I'm sure many people have ps3s and ps4s

    • You make a valid point but you haven't factored in that this thing is also a dual tuner PVR with a 500GB drive. There's also the convenience of having one remote that does everything.

      • Obviously no tuner or inbuilt hdd.

        I did mention it :P

          You mentioned it but seemed to disregard it :)

          An additional $318-276=$42 to your price for a twin HD tuner with 500GB is a great deal. Having it all integrated in one unit that is easy to use, rather than 3 separate units with 3 remotes + wires is a bonus.

        • make that 1 remote as most OZb seem to have a logitech harmony 650 these days… but to be fair that will be 4 remotes.. 3 original + 1 logitech.

  • I found the same model online at 2nds World for $199 + postage for a refurbished model with 12 month warranty:

    It's $9 postage to Sydney 2000

    • Excellent buy but last years model. Unsure of the difference.
