02.22.2008 — The format war is over.

Toshiba has thrown in the towel, and Blu-ray has been declared the victor.

But if you're an integrator who didn't recommend one format or the other to your clients, you still have a decision to make: is there a Blu-ray player right for you?

Unlike HD DVD, whose players were nearly all manufactured by Toshiba, there are a number of companies making Blu-ray players -- and they're all different.

Sony, the primary force behind Blu-ray, itself has a number of players, including one for its Elevated Standard line, a 200 disc changer and home media unit, and a media center PC.

And that's not even counting the PlayStation 3, arguably the most popular Blu-ray player.

So if you're ready to recommend a Blu-ray player to your customers, take a look at some of the options. We round 18 Blu-ray players currently available or set to come out in the near future, including standalone units, custom-friendly brands and media center PCs.

This isn't every Blu-ray player, but these are the units custom installers are likely to find right for their customers.
