We read via EngadgetHD that Best Buy has released their in-house Blu-ray player, the Insignia NS-BRDVD.
The unit outputs at 1080P, decodes Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD, and decodes 2-channel Dolby TrueHD and has a one year warranty.
The unit sells for $349.99, making it a cut less than the Playstation 3 – though really if you want to go cheap you are probably better off with saving a little more and getting a Wal-mart player.
Speaking of Best Buy – they are also running a 2-Day Memorial Day Sale for Sunday – Monday, May 25 – 26, Online Only at BestBuy.com. Lots of items with free shipping and such – might be worth checking out.

Magnavox from Walmart is a better deal.
Yeah it’s believed to be the exact same player in a different case.
My complaint is first it’s design is UGLY and second TrueHD 2-channel decoding? That sucks, it can do DD+ and DTS-HD but only 2-channel TrueHD? That’s odd
