I am not sure. But since my Blu-Ray had a fixed number of applications I could use to stream video and Amazon was not one of them, I bought a Roku and now only use the Blu-Ray if I have a DVD.

Thus I would not spend much to get a Blu-Ray player wireless.

Trust Sony to come up with some proprietary USB wi-fi adapter and charge people an arm and a leg for it.

From what I've found by doing a quick google search, just a regular USB wi-fi adapter won't work, but if your blu-ray player has an Ethernet port, you could use something like this that will convert from wired Ethernet to wifi:

Or for about the same money you could just buy yourself a Roku stick or Amazon Fire TV stick that will give you a lot more video streaming choices and forget some old blu-ray player for which nobody is writing apps anymore.
 
Sounds good then. I saw these on Ebay ;http://www.ebay.com/itm/Netgear-WNCE2001-Universal-Wi-Fi-to-Ethernet-Adapter-for-Home-Theater-Devices-/121547642544?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c4ccdd6b0 .While we're on this subject, would this device also work for substituting the proprietary one from Ooma also? I did have a Ooma usb wifi dongle and upon detaching it from a remote base, it pulled out the metal piece and messed the insides up.
