Hot Deal: First Blu-ray Disc Player Available for Under $200

 

philips For those people who've been wanting a Blu-ray disc movie player but have been put off by the prices, Philips may have the deal for you.  From now through December 10, the Philips Outlet store has refurbished BDP9000 Blu-ray disc players available for the ridiculously low price of $199.99 with free shipping.

The Philips BDP9000 is based on the Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-ray disc player and is a first-gen model.  As such, there is no support for upcoming Profile 1.1 features such as PIP, advanced audio codecs, or 1080p24 output.  It also will take longer to load discs with advanced BD-J features than on some newer players.  But for only $199, it makes for an excellent second room player, or an alternative to the low-end Toshiba HD DVD players.

Officially, the sale is for Philips employees, as well as their friends and family.  But I am friends with a Philips employee and you're all my friends... so there you go.

To order, go to to the Philips Outlet site, select the BDP9000 Blu-ray disc player, and use coupon code OUTLET-1207 at checkout.  As these are refurbished players, only a 90 day warranty will apply.
