OT: need Blu-ray player reco9mmendation

Santa was very good to me this year as I finally got my big screen TV (Sony Bravia KDL-52V4100).
However, my wife was spoiled by the images from the Blu-ray players on the store demo models so now I need to buy one for her.
In my price range (under $300 Canadian), I'm looking at the Samsung BDP1500, the Sony BDPS350 and the Panasonic DMPBD35.
Any comments greatly appreciated.

I will find and post the May B-D playback removal article link when I get home.

One of the quoted articles mentions that Sony is dropping the BD player. This article is dated Apr 1. Check again.

Currently Sony games ship on BD, and at the moment a significant amount of those are not candidates for download given their size.

Thanks to everyone who replied.
I'm convinced. When I do finally get a Blu-ray player, it'll be a PS3.
It'll have to wait for a while though as I have to finish paying for my other Christmas "presents" to myself :-)
