Memorex MVBD-2510 Blu-ray Disc Player

Move over, PS3. You ain’t the cheapest Blu-ray player in town anymore, as the Memorex MVBD-2510 Blu-ray Disc Player takes over your spot. Granted, it won’t be able to play games but it does take away that coveted marketing point from Sony. This $269.99 device offers the following features without breaking the bank.

I guess it doesn’t get any cheaper than this – not until the adoption rate for Blu-ray hits the critical point, which it still has a long way more to go.
