Before the Black Friday ads started to appear there was speculation that Black Friday prices on Blu-ray players would dip below the $99 mark. A $49 Blu-ray player was even though to be possible. As it turns out there are several Black Friday Blu-ray players selling under the $99 mark. Here is a short list of the low-priced players offers so far.
Walmart: Magnavox NB500MG1F Blu-ray deck, $78
Meijer: Sylvania Blu-ray deck, $89
Best Buy: Insignia NS-BRDVD3 Blu-ray player, $99
AAFES: Sharp BD-HP2310U, $99
Yahoo Tech says the possibility of a $49 deal is still in the cards.
The lower priced tech items offered on Black Friday are sometimes missing features. VideoBusiness.com notes that the Insignia blu-ray player Best Buy is selling is web-enabled whereas the low-priced Magnavox and Sylvania players that Wal-Mart and Meijer are offering are not.
