This year we saw all the major brand name manufactures come out with new 3D HDTVs and 3D Blu-ray Players. Whether this new trend in Home Entertainment catches on, only time will tell. One thing is for sure, prices will need to go down for this to occur. A new 3D TV can cost anywhere from $2000.00 to $4000.00. Not exactly price friendly, when you have to buy 3D Glasses that cost $150.00 per pair. And if you want to see the latest 3D Blu-ray movies, a 3D Blu-ray Disc Player is required. The good news is that, while 3D televisions are still relatively pricey, there are some 3D Blu-ray Players that can be bought at a very reasonable price.

One of the great things about a 3D Blu-ray Disc Player is you do not need to own a 3D television. 3D Blu-ray DVD Players function as a standard Blu-ray Disc Player, with the added feature of 3D capability. So, if you are considering purchasing a Blu-ray Player it might be a wise investment to purchase a 3D Blu-ray Player. It will save you from having to replace your Blu-ray Player if you happen to get a 3D TV in the future.

Many flagship Blu-ray Players from manufacturers are 3D capable, putting them in a higher price range than entry level or mid-range Blu-ray Players. They can fall anywhere between $300.00 to $500.00. But there are a few 3D Blu-ray DVD Players lower than $300.00, some even lower than $200.00. I have created a list of some of the cheapest 3D Blu-ray DVD Players. All of which are great Blu-ray Disc Players, that have excellent sound and image quality no matter if you are playing 3D Blu-ray or standard Blu-ray Discs.
