If you have been wanting to get into the high-def audio and video goodness that is Blu-ray, the timing is good.\u00a0 You can get a passable player for as little as $78 at Wal-Mart and movies are regularly selling for around $20 or even less on Amazon.com<\/a>.\u00a0 In fact, Wal-Mart has some movies selling for as little as $8.00, and double feature packs containing two movies for as little as $20!<\/p>\n Ready to get started?\u00a0 Here are some good player values:<\/p>\n Magnavox at Wal-Mart: $78<\/strong><\/p>\n This player is not on the Wal-Mart website but the stores are full of them.\u00a0 It is a good, basic player without internet connectivity. \u00a0 My dad has an early Insignia model that is very similar under the hood and it has worked well for him.\u00a0 If you just want to go to the store and get a player this one should be fine.<\/p>\n Panasonic DMP-BD35 for $135.oo including three Blu-ray movies<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the best deal going right now.\u00a0 The DMP-BD35 has fast start-up and operation, top quality DVD upconversion picture quality as well as outstanding Blu-ray performance, and it streams from the web (including Netflix and Pandora.)\u00a0 A current Amazon promotion gets you get three free Blu-ray movies with your DMP-BD35 purchase<\/a>.\u00a0 Hard to pass this one up and it is hard to recommend anything more expensive. Unless you want the player that follows this one in my recommendations…<\/p>\n![\"Tell](\"https:\/\/www.smallgreentree.net\/buddybuttons\/default.gif\")
