in for one, if i don’t like it, i can sell it on ebay… that’s actually how i found about about woot, i bought something on ebay that came off a woot auction… guy made a quick 50 bucks…
Really good price. May be able to stay in on black friday if I get this. WOOOT!!!
Cheapest I can find it elsewhere is $175 plus much more tha $5 for shipping.
If you wait until black friday, you’ll most likely get your face trampled as well.
I’m going to wait and see what kind of reviews show up for this.
oooh, tempting esp. for so cheap, but it’s a Memorex, and I’ve been seeing some junk from them lately… cheapest from tigerdirect.com is 219… eh, I’ll wait for better cheaper later. 
HD-DVD’s been dead since early 08
nope, got a 360 for that. hmmmm this is tempting tho… then i get blu-ray without wasting my money.
I know people keep saying that everyone should get the Playstation 3 because of the bluray profiles and the internet ability, but I have to say that none of that really matters to most. I would get this in a heartbeat were I in a different situation. I never look at the extra features on my movies, so why would internet access matter to me?
i want i want… but i… jus… wont. sigh ok i feel better
NEW YORK, Sept. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – PEPCOM Holiday Spectacular! – Memorex, a portfolio brand of Imation Corp. , announced today the availability of the Memorex MVBD-2510 Blu-ray Disc Player featuring advanced Blu-ray Disc (BD) entertainment technology at an outstanding value of less than $270.

Great price but I’ll stick with my PS3. Better than any BF ads that I have seen.
sure, spend 500 bucks for a xbox plus this, whereas I spent only 359 for a Ps3 and have both.
Good point. This would be good for folks who just want to watch Blu-Ray movies, who don’t give a hoot about firmware upgrades that likely won’t be so consequential anyway.
that built-in Ethernet is doing a lot of good too I bet.
I have HD-DVDs as well, but lets face it, neither Blu-ray nor HD-DVD have really leveraged the Ethernet abilities of their format.
As for people saying you need Ethernet to update, it’s likely updates can be done with burned discs or USB flash-memory.
I wonder if this is the same one Wal*Mart’s supposed to have for $128 on black Friday???
Yeah, I would expect under $150 BD players to be fairly basic for a while still…probably won’t see this price range network/firmware-upgradeable BD players until NEXT year sometime.
anyone know if you can upgrade the firmware on this? is it bluray spec 2.0?
Not a bad price compared to newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882889017
BUT I do not see an Ethernet connection. Can’t update it. So I would pass.
since the blu-ray spec keeps evolving, your best bet right now is to get a player that can be upgraded to the latest spec. I really wish they’d finalize it and quit adding 2.0 or 3.0 so the cheap players could start coming out
In for one, happened to check woot just as National Geographic HD show on the pyramids was ending, and there was this player. If it was a B O C I might have made it for once!
I had no time to research it, I just decided it was ‘new’ so what the heck, hope I am happy and hit hte buy button. I hate reading and researching and deciding to go for it only to come back and find out it is too late…
I am just setting up the ‘matching’’ gadget to this. A Hauppauge HD-PVR capture device ($220). The only one of it’s kind on the market, and I have read it captures in a .TS format that supposedly can be burnt directly (no encoding) to a regular DVDR and then be played back directly in full HD in a BD player. That was the item I did not have, now I have one on the way. Hope all my reading and research is right!
Just found it on Tar-get.com
Wonder how long these will last…
read the description at least.
