Memorex MVBD 2510 Blu ray Player for under $300

While we won’t recommend any cheap thrills if you are into Bluray player hunt! The Memorex MVBD-2510 simply gets the job done for $270, it plays your favorite Bluray flicks, nothing more. Catch is, it doesn’t comes with Profile 2.0 (which could be updated by some networking) and ethernet(crap not even ethernet, how am i gono update it). It’s fully functional via HDMI, but another hit and miss, appears to be the lack optical audio and component outputs. But if you don’t care about anything rather then playing you Bluray movies and want it cheap, Memorex MVBD-2510 is the way to go. Still, I’d recommend geeks or anyone to give it a pass, as it won’t be long before we sub 200$ Bluray players with all the features it misses. Until then lets wait.

Blu ray Players Having Problems With Pirates of the Caribbean Discs

If you recently got Blu-ray discs of the first two Pirates of the Caribbean movies, then you might have probably come up with a messy screen rather than having pure HD quality. Currently there are two players namely, Samsung’s BD-P1200 and Sony’s BDP-S1—which are facing difficulties in playing back the first two Pirates of the Caribbean movies, the reason is obvious, its due to outdated BD java. The solution to this problem would be a firmware update which can certainly resolve this issue.

Recently, Samsung released a firmware update which can be found here, which fixes the problem.
