Eyes on Memorex's new MVBD-2520 Blu-ray player
Plenty of budget-priced Blu-ray players make their cost-saving apparent in looks alone, but Memorex's forthcoming MVBD-2520 Blu-ray player got a good dose of design. Nothing jaw-dropping, but it won't pull down the overall look of your equipment rack, either. It's a shame that the 7.1-channel analog outputs didn't make it to the back panel, though.%Gallery-41029%
Memorex ups to Blu-ray Profile 2.0 with its MVBD-2520 player
What a difference a few months makes -- just about $69 -- back in September, Memorex rolled out its MVBD-2510 (pictured) at $269, but the follow-up MVBD-2520 will show up this summer at $200. The inclusion of Profile 2.0 on this unit is good to see, but holding back the Dolby TrueHD and DST-HD MA to bitstream output spoils some of the fun, especially compared to what we're seeing at the same price point from VIZIO. That $200 figure is MSRP, so expect street prices to duck lower still. Based on what we're seeing, Blu-ray player prices won't be a valid excuse for failure in the marketplace come this time next year.
