Most Blu-ray players are resting comfortably well north of the $100 mark, but not this Magnavox. It’s only $78 and it really does play Blu-ray movies. However, there’s a bunch that it can’t do, because, well, it’s only $78.

We’ve featured this player before, but it’s probably best to run through it’s limitations again.

  • No BD Live
  • No Profile 2.0
  • No Ethernet port
  • No HD Audio modes

However, it does have an HDMI port, digital audio port, and an SD card slot. It’s really not a bad player for someone who that just wants to enjoy Blu-ray movies on their HDTV and couldn’t care less about surround sound or interactivity. [Walmart]
