To me, wireless ready means it should be ready for wireless and you shouldn't have to buy any adapters. Should be labeled wireless capable.

I wish I could justify a Blu-Ray, but I keep thinking "the price has to go down soon..." (though it hasn't...)

@boydrew: For a blue ray player how low do you want the price to drop??

So "Wi-Fi Ready" means ethernet tethered. Got it.

$39.99 seems like a good price for a low-end bluray player. Maybe by Christmas.

Looks like a good deal for an OK Blu-Ray player. In for one for the bedroom finally!

Wireless is great for mobile things. But a Blu-Ray player shouldn't be mobile. If you're able to; do yourself a favor, spend a few bucks on a run of Cat5 vs that WiFi adapter and save yourself the headache of spotty connections and limited bandwidth. If you live somewhere that you can't run cables then grab that wifi adapter.

@lichme: A "WiFi-ready" blu-ray player is like advertising a loaf of bread as "BLT-ready".

@eraten: I agree in theory. For sure that's what I would have done at my job where we had a contractor that ran cables through the suspended ceilings.

But here in the house, where I wouldn't get up in the attic and fish the cable down the walls, and I probably wouldn't get around to covering the run with protective molding, I think the dogs would wonder what it was and start chewing on it to find out.

EDIT -- On the other hand, it seems a new or refurbed adapter will cost more than the player itself:

@floridaorange: I hear you, I think $40 is what I am hoping for. I don't need internet capable, as I have a roku. I just can't justify tossing my dvd player.

Samsung Wireless Adapter is $73.99 on Amazon.com. That's more than the cost of the Blu-ray player!! I'm sure you can use an off-brand that costs much less, but it reminds me of going to the movies: The ticket it only $8, but a drink and popcorn will cost you $20 more!

Yep you have to buy an expensive adapter... Samsung isn't the greatest of interface either..I got one.....

@lyonlt: Or grab a refurbished linksys router (like http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-Refurbished-E1000-Wireless-N/dp/B003VYEYE0/ref=zg_bs_300189_15 ), and flash DD-WRT. Heck of a lot cheaper, and a whole lot more useful.

Will it stream Amazon Prime streaming video? I have a TiVO that can stream everything else I want, but since I've got Prime it would be nice to see it on the TV, and I need a bluray player.

Cheap Bluray players are usually junk. They can take up to a full minute to start to play the disc and are totally devoid of features. A high-quality one will play the disc quickly, will support all of the special features on the disc, and will have support for Netflix and Hulu. I would recommend that you don't shop solely on price when buying a Bluray player. Rather, find a reliable model with the features you want, even if it is closer to $100 than $40.

A neighbor bought one of these** "WiFi Ready" devices. $85 dollars for a proprietary USB wireless device later, it really was ready for wireless.

It is rare, but I have to say it - shame on Woot/Moofi for claiming something is WiFi Ready when it is far from it.

**Not specifically this model - it was a couple of years ago, but it was a Samsung and it would not recognize any wireless USB device except the $85 one.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
