Samsung BD-P1500 1080p Blu-ray DVD Player (Refurb) for $74.99
Since I live in Bethesda, Maryland where we eschew modern day conveniences that operate using this new fangled electricity, a Blu-ray player (even one for less than $75!!!) is not a very useful deal for me. But, I have heard that in other places in the world, you still have a functional electrical grid and you use things like computers, Blu-ray players, air conditioners, etc. So, you should buy this Blu-ray player and invite me over.
Description:
As the first company to introduce a stand-alone Blu-ray player, Samsung reinforces its support of the Blu-ray format with the Full HD BD-P1500. An ideal player for anyone who enjoys Blu-ray, DVDs or CDs in their home, this groundbreaking model takes the home viewing experience to the next step and accommodates all of these formats in one unit. What’s more, it can upconvert standard DVDs to 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions and offers Full HD video playback capabilities for a crystal-clear picture.

This is Blu-Ray profile 1.1, but does have Ethernet for software upgrades.
Personally, I would rather get the BD-P1590 because it has Netflix, the BD-P1600 has Netflix as well.
But this is a great price on this player.
CNET review: http://reviews.cnet.com/blu-ray-players-recorders/samsung-bd-p1500/4505-9991_7-32815244.html
Editors give 2 1/2 stars out of 5. There are many models they rate with 4 stars.
The good: Profile 2.0 compatible with a firmware upgrade; onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD; very good image quality on most Blu-ray discs; Ethernet port for firmware updates.
The bad: DVD playback will disappoint videophiles; no analog multichannel outputs; onboard DTS-HD Master Audio decoding.
The bottom line: generous Blu-ray functionality at a budget price, thanks to several firmware updates and aggressive retailer discounts.
What? No netflix or youtube? Junk!
