Technika BD Player @ Tesco for £88

[admin_exported]

I'm surprised the WHF team haven't picked up on this yet. Been compared with the Bush player i.e. identical remote and same company credentials.

But for £88 online (£150 instore I believe) is it worthy of news and a review?

It's not going to open my wallet, but it may be of interest to some out there.

Shows as £146.78 on the Tesco site right now.

I think £88 spent on a dvd player would be wiser.

It may well be best to stay clear, but at least it shows an interest in getting BD mainstream.

if it is the same as the bush one.... which Does not play all BD discs and there are no firmware updates planned.

get one that works.

Ah right, you didn't mention the voucher code.

It's XXR968 if anyone wants to use it before it runs out on Sunday to buy what is by a country mile the worst BD machine we've ever tested.

But frankly with only £100 to spend I'd buy a reasonable DVD machine. Or save for a bit longer.

Exactly what I'm planning to do, talking of which, a review of Pana's BD-60/80 wouldn't go a miss.

Glad for your input as always Andrew. ;-)

Panasonic's DMP-BD60 arrived yesterday. It'll feature in the May issue that's on sale April 8th-ish.
