blu-ray players

[Beachboy]

I wanted to buy a Blu-Ray player solely to be able to watch Blu-Ray DVD's borrowed from friends. I currently use a standard DVD player and rent DVD's from Netflix. My DVD player is connected to my 24" CRT TV through the component inputs for the best picture my TV is capable of delivering. Of course, no component outputs on any Blu-Ray player made after 2010. So I'm considering buying a NOS or refurbished Blu-Ray player made in 2010 or earlier, or else just forgetting about borrowing my friend's Blu-Rays. But I foresee the time when standard DVD's will be extinct and everything will be offered on Blu-Ray (or it's successor) exclusively.
