Best Buy is selling their Insignia Blu-ray player for $299, plus a free $100 gift card, and a $100 coupon book with purchase.

To top it all off, they are also throwing in free shipping.

However, the sale ends today (6/30).

The Insignia is the same player as the Maganvox that is currently selling at Wal*Mart, and is 1.1 compliant.

If I did not already have a PS3, I'd be picking this puppy up myself!!

BD-Live Tip: To save on storage space, always delete the BD-Live data for any Blu-ray rentals after you return them.

Re: Insignia Blu-ray player @ Best Buy

The current batch of BB coupons has a 12% off coupon for all Insignia electronics, good July 3-7. That would take the price down to around $289 (based on $329 regular retail).

This player is currently priced at $279. According to bluray.com, it bitstreams DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD, but it is not known if it decodes them. Does anyone own one of these? Is it a decent machine?

Re: Insignia Blu-ray player @ Best Buy

I saw another BR player today at Wal-Mart for $278. Can't recall the brand, though. Maybe Magnavox?

Cheapest I've seen yet.

Probably, if so it is basically the same player as this Insignia player made by Funai.

Re: Insignia Blu-ray player @ Best Buy

According to the Best Buy website, the Insignia has an optical and coax out, while the Magnavox only has coax. Since my receiver's two coax jacks are occupied, I am going to need optical. Or a new receiver with HDMI inputs.

That's the difference which is why I said basically. Either player is best suited for owners of HDMI audio processing since both pass the advanced codecs bitstream over that connection.
