Memorex has introduced a bargain Blu-ray player, the Memorex MVDB-2510, at a nice starting price point of $269. The player will go on sale in November 2008 (right around Black Friday, eh?). It has all the basics you’d expect: 1080p and frame rates of 24p and 60p. It does not have Profile 2.0 (aka BD Live), but that’s hardly a knock against it. Features for BD Live have been lame so far and not worth the premium price the inclusion usually brings.
Memorex is also touting the MVDB-2510′s good looks, pointing out the player’s “elegant details” like brushed metal chroming and a white LED display.
What else has it got? Check the list below:
- DVD upscaling
- 7.1 HDMI digital audio output
- 5.1 analog audio output
- Dolby TrueHD audio
- Dolby Digital Plus audio
- DTS-HD High Resolution Audio decoding and bit stream output
- Master Audio bit stream output
Feature-wise, the Memorex MVDB-2510 stands toe-to-toe with more expensive players. We’ll track the reviews when it’s released in November to see if the hardware inside matches our excitement. With the November release date, it’d also be nice if a Black Friday 2008 deal could knock down the price even more.
