So, you want to make the jump to 3D, eh? The overseas maufacturers and local retail chains applaud your decision.
You would probably be surprised by the quality of performance that some players in the $100 range offer. ...and maybe sorry you paid so much more for your old one.
Personally, I've got two fairly new Sony wireless Blu-Ray players, neither costing over $130, and their picture and sound quality and feature set suite me perfectly, and I'm kinda picky about those things.
