Memorex MVBD2510"C" Blu Ray Player (from Woot sale $139.99)
I posted this in the bargains section, but it may be more useful here....For those interested....it beats waiting in line on Black Friday. Be aware it's 1.1 Profile, so no BD Live. Seems like a good player if you need one for a second room.

DVD Talk Legend
$144.99 shipped
Like all Woot items, this is a one-day sale and the price is only good while they have supplies left. As of right now, the "I Want One!" button isn't bouncing, so their stock is not yet down to 10%.

Some quick observations
So I just got my Memorex BD player from the woot sale. Thought I'd give some quick thoughts. Keep in mind this is NOT 2.0, only 1.1 (PiP capability). I decided to settle for 1.1 because this was going to be for the bedroom and know I don't plan on doing any online stuff. If something is worth watching that BD Live has to offer, I'll watch it on my big screen in the living room. And for the price I got this player for, well, it was a smaller gamble - but well worth it.
Overall, it's a damn fine player right out of the box.
There was also this flyer on top of the instructions regarding the firmware.
For those interested in the outputs - it does have analog 5.1 out.
After plugging in, you get a nice standard display. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.
A couple of onscreen menu shots: front screen and a menu shot. I did notice one of the aspect ratios is 1080p24f
Oh, and how does it play? I loaded up Tropic Thunder, then Hellboy 2. Both took about 20 seconds or so, about as long as the PS3. So overall, this will do just fine. And it'll keep my ass out of black Friday lines hunting for one.
