In that case, there are a short list of recommendations. They should all meet your needs quite thoroughly.

I'd be very tempted to pay a little more for reliability myself (the main difference in price between the players is build quality). Read whatever reviews you can and make a decision based on that. You get what you pay for, but $50-$200 for a region free universal player ain't bad at all.

Oppo DV-980H
Philips DVP-5992
Philips DVP-5990
Philips DVP-5982
Philips DVP-3982
Pioneer DV-410V
Toshiba XD-E500

Unfortunately, these models are very rarely carried in stores. I am not sure about Canadian retailers (online or in-store), so I would recommend Amazon.com and 6ave.com as your best bet for purchasing these products online.

EDIT: If you're willing to pick up something used, AudiogoN.com is an excellent place to buy and sell audio and video stuff at a bargain.
