Walmart Selling Magnavox Blu-ray Disc Player for $98.00 Again

Magnavox Blu-ray Disc Player Nb530mgx |
Walmart is selling the Magnavox Blu-ray Disc play for $98.00 again in stores only. You won't find this deal online. This is a barebones player with no internet capabilities. This means no BD-Live support and no automatic firmware updates via the Internet. However, considering I have declared physical media [mostly] dead, I don't much care. We needed a DVD player replacement and this fit the bill nicely. DVDs up-convert to 1080p24 extremely well, way better than our previous player. OK. I did buy two Blu-ray titles to see what it was all about, Serenity and Wall-E.

We watched Serenity and the quality was excellent - the best I've seen on our TV. We didn't play around much with the Blu-ray features yet, U-Control for example. Assuming the player maintains this basic level of functionality it was well worth the $98. Clearly this is an ideal price point for most consumers. Still, it seems most disks still cost $30 to $40. I specifically chose the above titles because they were both $19.99 at Walmart.
Amazon - $128.00WalMart - $129.00 but you can only find it in the stores for $98.00 this weekend
