I have probably been asked at least 10 times this week by friends and family if i think they should go to battle at 4am at Walmart to try to get their hands on one of these nb500mg9 Blu-ray Disc Players. All i could tell them was that it’s a great price for any Blu-ray player and try not to get their hopes up.

Well i have done some research and finally found some useful information information for anyone willing to trade a busted lip or black eye for a cheap Blu-ray player.

Here is what you are getting with the Magnavox nb500 Blu-ray Disc Player:

* Blu-ray movies in Full HD 1080p. Ok good! so it will play your Blu-ray movies in 1080p via an Hdmi cable like it should. The Magnavox NB500 can also play BD-RE and BD-R, and CDs.

* 1080p upconversion for DVDs through HDMI output. Basically it will take your regular DVDs and make them look much clearer on your HDTV by up-converting them to as close to 1080p as you can get.

* Front SD memory card reader. Supported Memory Cards: Secure Digital (SD) Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) MiniSD (adapter required) This means you can plug your memory card into the front of it and view your digital photos on your HDTV.

* Dolby Digital DTS Digital Surround Sound. This means that when you connect it to your surround sound receiver via a digital input that you will get crystal clear sounding digital audio.

Ok so there’s the scoop on the Magnavox nb500 Blu-ray Disc Player. In my opinion this thing seems like a basic, no frills Blu-ray player. It doesn’t offer a lot of the cool features like Netflix access, BD live, or You Tube videos because it doesn’t have an Ethernet adapter. But if you are simply looking for a Blu-ray player that will play Blu-ray movies and DVDs, go ahead and set that alarm clock and get refreshed on how to choke someone out, and go get the Magnavox nb500 Blu-ray Disc Player!

Now if you are looking for a Blu-ray player the offers a ton of awesome features and selling for under $130 at Amazon right now then you need to check out the LG BD370 Network Blu-ray Disc Player. I bought mine 6 months ago for $230 and let me tell you this thing rocks! You can read my full review of the LG BD370 Blu-ray Disc Player here.
