    In reply to Target Drops Olevia Blu-ray Player to $150
    It's glaringly obvious why this is so cheap.


    1. Lousy remote

    2. Boring front panel design

    3. Horrendous upconversion circuitry


    But for an average person, they likely won't notice. And I say who cares what company it is...what matters is the mechanism/electronics inside (probably made by someone else, just like any other cheap player).

    @Daniel Parmelee: Can I ask what is wrong with the remote? Does it not have good range? Since I rarely use the front panel on my DVD players/cable boxes, do I really need an "exciting" front panel? I'm seiously asking b/c you seem to have experience with the BD-100, and I'd like to know more about it.

    Syntax (makers of Olevia) did some restructuring almost a year ago, but near as I can tell seem to be making it through. I've had an Olevia set for several years now and haven't had any trouble. It was a good deal at the time, and this BR player seems to be as well. As I look to replace my TV I'm really not looking at Olevia because the prices have come down for other, higher quality brands, but for a BR player - I might just get one.

    @Shamoononon has hebetudinous dog ★★★★★: That depends on whether dear old Dad has a Netflix account and a TV (and eye sight) to enjoy the additional quality. If you are good on all three, then I would say the answer is 'yes', that is is worth it.

    I asked this question before, but never really got an answer. Do many companies make the "drive and reader" for all the BluRay players? Or do a few make them, and companies buy them and put them in their own enclosure? If the latter is the case, and both a Sony and Olevia use the same drive, but what's around it is different, does that make a difference?

    @24/6_GitEmSteveDave loves->★: I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that they all use the standard chip set for decoding and playback, and then all of the blue lasers come from, essentially, one manufacturer. I believe that is why they are all in around the same price range at around the same time.


    That said, I only pretend to know stuff like this when commenting at Giz.

    I just walked into a gamestop an hour ago and ran across that 3 for 2 deal - managed to snag some good x-mas gifts for pretty cheap. It actually makes buying used games at gamestop worth it.

    I'll pay the extra $14.95 to avoid having those games come to my house. I seriously don't want my neighbors thinking I liked Kung-Fu Panda, or enjoy football, or heaven forbid, associate the Lego Indy game with the last Indy movie and burn my house down.
