Do I need another VMware product to use VMware Player?
No. VMware Player enables you to create and run virtual machines. However, if you need to leverage powerful developer-centric features such as Teams, multiple Snapshots and Clones, or Virtual Rights Management features for end-point security, you will need to upgrade to VMware Workstation.

Source : http://www.vmware.com/products/player/faqs.html - check out also the other FAQ ;)

The topic should be VirualBox vs VMware Workstation................
But if you want to know the answer to Virtual Box or Vmware player?
Go whit VirtualBox..............

For me I personally use VirtualBox.

Open-source software.
Almost as good as VMware Workstation, but without the cost (VirtualBox is Free).
