Anyone know if the MAGNAVOX BD PLAYER @ WAL-MART for $78 is any good?
I forgot to write down the model number but they had a double price drop (one last week and one this week) and they seem to be selling at a brisk pace. I still have not solved my problem w/ my SONY BDP-S300 which was expensive back in Fall 2008. Anyone have any reviews of how the MAGNAVOX BD Players are? Thanks in advance.

Not sure we are talking about the same model, but I bought a Magnavox BD player from Wal-Mart for my son's room. The video quality is great, but it takes a long time to load some discs. The remote is just ok. For a bedroom player I am happy with it, and I paid $200 for it when it first came out.

A friend who has one told me there is a firmware update that speeds up the loading. But, I don't know where he found the update download.

I updated the firmware on my SONY BDP-S300 but it still is not randomly playing certain movies that it did at one point (SHERLOCK HOLMES & STAR TREK)....I don't even think the casual blu-Ray fan even knows about firmware--it's a real bitch...

Just go to Best BUy and grab one of the open box Sony/Samsung/Panasonic players for around $100.
