The offer could be the best deal ever on a Blu-ray high-def disc player. Some retailers have bundled the Sony Play Station 3 for $399 with a similar $100 Blu-ray movie coupon.
Best Buy's offer includes the new Insignia Blu-ray player, which is priced at $349 -- about $50 less than other entry-level Blu-ray set-tops.
But the Insignia player, which also includes an upconversion feature for standard-def DVDs, does not support the new interactive features available on BD Live-capable discs.
The player will decode Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD audio and it includes component video and HDMI connections.
The $100 coupon can be redeemed on movies from Disney, Touchstone and Miramax.
