Walmart Magnavox $128

[theoak]

So I was walking in WalMart (Nampa, Id) yesterday and just happened to walk through the electronic section. They had a good 20 or so of the Manavox blu-ray players there on sale for $128. I am not sure if this is a nation wide thing or not, but if you are looking for a no frills blu-ray player ... now might be the time to go to your local WalMart.

FYI

Never mind, found it

Walmart.com: Magnavox Blu-ray DVD Player: DVD & Blu-ray Players

checked all my local area WM and non in stock locally, figures.

THey're In Stock or Limited Stock at most in Vegas. Too bad we're penny pinching to get a house, or I'd get dad this + Woodstock for father's day, instead of just the Woodstock SD DVD.

I have an earlier model from Magnavox, and it works fine. Not as good software as the Sony, but a fraction of the price. Of course dfergie also had one, and his turned into a toaster.

How does it handle AVC HD I wonder..

I got this last Christmas. I have not thrown a lot of BR at it ... with what I have ... it has done a great job! Again, for a no frills BR entry machine ... this is hard to beat ...

I honestly think the BD live on Tropic Thunder killed my Mag... It did good until then...

Bought another for $148 (with a $19 -- 2 year service plan) for the bedroom...

This player is now $98 at my local (New Orleans area) Wal-Marts. I think I will hold out for a good deal on a better player down the road (Panny, Black Friday?)

A friend saw it for $98 in Rockford. I don't patronize Wal Mart.

Anyone know the difference between the $98 Magnavox and the $148 Philips ? The front-panels have the tray and buttons in identical location though they have different faceplates. The give-away is the back-panel: Every single connector is layed out exactly the same. The $98 model does NOT have an ethernet port though (no BD Live ?).

Both are manufactured by Funai so they are basically the same player. The only major difference is the Philips can play BD Live.
