    The $98 Blu-ray player

    The local Walmart is selling the Magnavox Blu-ray player for $98 Canadian. Don't know how good the Maggie is but it sure is nice to see low prices like this for a Blu-ray player.

      Amazon has the Panny BD60 for $120-$130 depending on when you look. I think I'd rather pay the $20-$30 more for what is really one of the better players out there. It's going to be my Dad's gift this year since he finally entered the HD world with a Panny P50X1.

        Pretty amazing how the prices have come down. But no real surprise.

        I think I'll still be picking up a PS3 to do my BR playing and other playing.

        I just have to clean up and make room for the new TV.

          Noticed in the flyers this AM that Future Shop has the Samsung BDP1600 player for $99. as a Boxing Day special. Another local electronic & furniture store has a Sony for $99. Some good buys out there for anyone who needs a second player or just getting into the game.

            Philips BDP 7200 Blu-ray Player
            by George Bellefontaine
            I was reading quite a bit about this player and comments from owners. Seems that for a low priced machine, it is performing well and playing everything thrown at it without glitches. It is supposedly faster on start up than my Panasonic BD30. But it's good to know that this 2nd generation player from...

            Bluray Audio Format Confusion
            by Johnloudb
            Okay, all these different audio formats have always confused me. On the back of this Jeff Beck Bluray disc "Live at Ronnie Scotts" it lists the audio format as LPCM stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS HD Master Audio.

            Wait for the Panny BD50?
            by PSUfan
            I have been reading many different threads on blu-ray players and audio connections. I consider myself an avid fan of HT, with slightly better than novice understanding of the numerous options for connections, trouble shooting, etc. However, this audio connection is somewhat confusing.
