Washington, D.C. (November 19, 2008) -- Wal-Mart plans to sell a Magnavox Blu-ray player for just $128 on Black Friday, according to Home Media Magazine.
The publication, quoting a report by Bargainlist.com, a web site that monitors 'Black Friday discounts, notes that the price will be the lowest yet for the Blu-ray high-def disc player. There have been reports that other retailers will offer the player for as low as $149 on Black Friday.
On November 28, the day after Thanksgiving, shoppers across America will pour into retail stores looking for 'Black Friday' bargains on everything from appliances to apparel.
Black Friday discount prices are often available for one day only, but it's unclear if Wal-Mart will keep the $128 price tag on the Magnavox unit throughout the holiday season.
The retailer is now selling the player for $198 and has vowed to make its stores a 'go-to' destination for Blu-ray movies and players.
The Magnavox Blu-ray player is a Profile 1.1 unit, meaning it does not include new 'BD-Live' interactive features except for picture-in-picture.
Home Media Magazine writes that a Wal-Mart spokesperson was unavailable to comment on the report.
