Good basic player, but and it’s a big but, Magnavox does not support any firmware updates. That means that you can’t update the player and you will not be able to play the new BluRay DVD’s. Bottom line don’t buy this player if you want to watch movies in the future!!

This is a very good blue-ray player for its value. I got it from Walmart for $98. And for that price I think its awesome. Also the picture quality is awesome. The load time is short. The menus and remote are simple and the build quality is good. It looks much better than some of the popular models out there. NB500MGX and NB530MGX are 2009 models (hardly any difference). It has also optical and component outputs along with HDMI (of course).

I purchased this Blu-ray player at a Walmart for $168. I had previously purchased a Phillips BD-Live player for my parents, and decided that I wanted one too. Well they were out, but they had one of these and the price looked great, so I bought it.
I am impressed. There is negligible (if any at all!) difference between my Magnavox and my parents’ Phillips. The quality is beyond excellent, the sound, the compatibility, comparable to the higher end Phillips. The only thing missing from this Blu-ray player is the ethernet port, but you can also update Blu-ray players with a DVD or an SD card, and yes, this Blu-ray player has an SD card port.
So I popped in “Twister” on Blu-ray, one of my favorite movies, and was astonished at the picture quality. Absolutely gorgeous color, sharp, crisp images and clear as crystal sound. I feel like I got this Blu-ray player at a steal considering the price listed here. I am very pleased with it, and plan on purchasing the new Star Trek movie when it finally arrives on Blu-ray (and out of the theater, but I’m impatient like that!). Highly recommended for those of us on a budget!

Apparently there is an incompatability with some newer BD’s (ex. Disney’s Bed Time Stories. Other people are having the same problem. A firmware update is supposed to fix the problem. Player is made by Funai, but no firmware for the Magnavox model yet. No mention of player on Magnavox web site.
Inexpensive and adequate for most BD’s.
