2.0 out of 5 stars Where's the support?, December 5, 2008

By	Jeff "Jeff" (Michigan) - See all my reviews

I have had this player for a week. I was skeptical about the brand but when I popped in my first blu-ray disc and saw HD in unsurpassed clarity, all of my fears dissolved... that is until I rented a new release blu-ray disc and was greeted with a red screen informing me that the disc could not be played on my blu-ray player without a firmware upgrade. I call Memorex and they explain that the blu-ray disc association has changed the formatting of the new disc and all blu-ray players would require a firmware upgrade to play such discs. This player is profile 1.1 and the CS rep dubbed the new format 1.2 (which I cannot find any reference to anywhere else). The rep assured me that a firmware update would be made available by the end of the week but that promise went unfufilled and a email to Memorex prompted a "we have no update currently available" response. So there you have it! Who knows when/if Memorex will provide the necessary update? I bought this anticipating seeing The Dark Knight in full HD but now I will be shocked if this will even be able to play the disc. Thanks for releasing a product that became obsolete after one week with no plans to update the firmware, Memorex! I can't wait to never buy one of your products again!

P.S. Why would the Blu-Ray Disc Association change the format of discs faster than the manufacturers of the players can keep up? Why would you produce a product that can't be consumed?

5.0 out of 5 stars Well packaged, well-built, functions well, November 26, 2008

By	G.K. (Phila.) - See all my reviews

For the budget price ($145), I was quite surprised to receive a player in some of the nicest packaging I've seen, and with a nice weight to the player itself. Build quality feels quite good, and it works beautifully with everything I've thrown at it so far. This player will actually play all sorts of video file formats on a USB flash drive or external hard drive via its USB port.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Blu Ray for the price, February 2, 2009

By	Lynn R. Johnson "Dr. Dubious" (Western NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the Memorex based on price and the reviews of others. It performed perfectly right out of the box. I haven't even attempted a software "update", since it has played every movie I've given it so far without a hitch. Only negative is the seemingly long star-up time (compared to my old DVD), but this may not be unusual for Blu Ray...especially a low-cost machine. Hooked up the HDMI output to my SONY 1080p and got a great picture. Set-up was fast and easy.
