Over the holidays, the best gift I got, was actually one I got for myself.  I was coasting through Cost Co with a friend, and low and behold, for a limited time only, a Blu Ray player for only $179, HDMI cable-included.   It's no PS3, but it's one heck of a deal for Blu Ray.  Plus, it was more of a gift for the entire family (as I can justify it as such), so we can all watch movies in high def together. 

Currently on my shelf: 
Dark Knight
Departed
Sweeney Todd
Pan's Labyrinth

I don't feel like re-buying movies I already have in DVD format - so for now these will do. 
Any recommendations?
