Wal-Mart is now stocking Blu-ray players from Funai that retail for under the magical $300 mark - $298, to be exact. that first generation player has been brannded as the Magnavox NB500MG9. For those who are questioning Funai’s credentials, it is the largest OEM DVD player manufacturer for North America, boasting manufacturing factories in China. Sorry folks, whether you want BD profile 2.0 you will need to purchase

a PS3 or other committed BD profile 2.0 players, as that one supports just BD profile 1.1, DVD upscaling up to 1080p and HDMI 1.3. Will that see Blu-ray penetration increase in households across America? What do you think?
