The discontinued but still available Samsung BD-C5500 will do what you want: Samsung BD-C5500 Blu-Ray Player WiFi Ready: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Checking to see if any current models will do too.

Samsung BD-D5300:

£80 refurb via Tesco's ebay store: SAMSUNG BD-D5300 SMART BLU-RAY PLAYER on eBay!
£90 brand new from HMV: Samsung Blu-ray Player (2011): technology: hmv.com

Cashback via Qudico etc available for both.

Didn't Sainsbury's have a PS3 for £157 not long ago, supposed to be one of the best Blu-Ray players you can buy and it plays divx files and you can do lots more with it. For the extra cash it's well worth it for the extra features you can get. Plus you can stream video files over your network from a PC to the PS3 using ps3mediaserver so you can watch MKV files in HD rather than crappy AVI files.

You can watch mkvs on the BD-D5300 too. Also supports NTFS formated drives as well.

Though, if OP has a lot of ISOs, it's worth noting the BD-D5300 won't play them unless burnt to disc.
Also Anynet+ is just another name for CEC...

ta guys - ive got a ps3, but to be honest prefer a standalone blu ray player, I like to put divx/avi files onto usb and watch them, i see a lot of rips are blu ray quality so would like to put those onto a usb too and watch them as well....have a £100 budget, maybe strecth it a bit more...will this play mkv files...what is a good blu ray player ?

i'm looking for the same, but not quite USB, i just want to be able to transfer my movies onto the player and play them. i currently transfer to my ps3 but space on the ps3 is quickly becoming scarce!! anybody know if hard drive blu ray players like the ps3 exist?

With prices almost back at what they used to be, you could always upgrade the PS3's internal HDD? (Will void any remaining warranty.)

Alternatively, the Sumvision Cyclone Nano and an external HDD/NAS box?
