Memorex has introduced a good Blu-ray player that has sold online for as low as $128 and can be found now for $156 shipped. It’s the Memorex MVNBD2510, and AV columnist Don Lindich offers a detailed review of it in his Sound Advice blog. His conclusion:

 “It’s pretty much in a class of its own, providing an extremely affordable way for anyone to try Blu-ray, especially those who want to experience high definition sound without replacing their receiver.  If you have an older receiver and want to get into Blu-ray inexpensively, your player is here.”

The player is not perfect, which Don covers. The biggest demerit is that it can’t handle BD-Live, so viewers using it would not be able to access Web-enabled features, such as Universal’s recent live chat with Hellboy II director Guillermo Del Toro. But most people looking for a player in this price range probably won’t care.
