Best Buy catalog titles are $24.95 (unlike Fry's and Amazon).
10x$25=$250 + $80 for a $5 cable=$330.
Now...the same movies can be scrounged on E-bay, etc. for about $15 with shipping.
10x$15=$150+$5 HDMI cable=$155
Difference = 330-155=$175
Can you find an Insignia (assuming this is the profile 1.1 model not the 2.0) for $175?
FTR, the movie choices aren't bad! Some of the transfers suck, but we're not talking Good Luck Chuck freebies. (Okay, The Marine and 10k BC suck, but there are other choices like Unforgiven, Wall-E, Harry Potter, etc.)

I got that Insignia for $299 with a $100 gift card, so essentially $199. They are trying make it look like they are giving you something when they really aren't.

A very bad deal! Go to monoprice for hdmi cables! And how good really is that insignia blu ray?
Seriously, I have no life.

I wrote a review of it, it isn't a bad player at all. This deal has been over for a long time though.
