Cheapest Blu-ray player

Wal-Mart is offering the same $78 Magnavox MB500MG1F Blu-ray player on its Web site that was previously an in-store-only. There’s no front-panel LED display, and it definitely won’t do BD-Live, Netflix, or anything like that. Actually, there is one frill: an SDHC slot, meaning you can pop in the memory card from your camera for an onscreen photo slideshows. Its shipping will run you a measly 97 cents, though you’ll probably have to add sales tax as well.
