I've recently gotten into buying DVDs instead of streaming things, but the problem that I'm having is that the only DVD player I have is my old Xbox 360 which doesn't support Blu-ray and I don't know if there are better DVD readers nowadays. Just wondering if there was anything I should specifically look for or avoid when shopping for a new player.

I can't say for 4K, but for standard and 3D bluray, the PS3 is a pretty cracking all-rounder.

If you hack them, I think they can be made region free, but I'm not 100% sure if that's just DVD or Blu-ray.
