Until now, the cheapest Blu-ray player has been the PS3, and even that comes at a cost as eye-popping as the visuals it belts out.
Iceland shoppers rejoice then, as Memorex are about to bring the next-gen technology to the masses with the announcement of the MVBD-2510.
Shipping at the price of just $270 (£150), the player will undercut the nearest competitors by more than half, despite bundling in a feast of features, including decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD High Resolution and 5.1 surround sound analogue output.
It is only Profile 1.1, meaning that you can’t download bountiful extras to go with your large portion of HD movies, but at the very least, it’s a bold step in the switchover from plain old DVD.
