The day after Thanksgiving is known for it’s price cuts, but this year Wal-Mart is looking to get Blu-ray players into the hands of consumers, just like it tried with HD-DVD players last year. In 2007, Wal-Mart offered certain HD-DVD players for $100 (although ones only capable of 720p). This year, the retail chain is offering a Magnavox Profile 1.1 Blu-ray player (NB500MG9) for $128.

The players will likely run out of stock soon, and they will not be – by any accounts – top of the line players, but it wil lbe a chance to bring more Blu-ray players into homes for Christmas.
