The Memorex MVBD-2510 fills that getting-the-job-done-for-cheap niche, but Gizmodo readers should know we don't actually recommend it for purchase. It costs only $270, but sacrifices Profile 2.0 and the ethernet that accompanies it. So it's a pass, but a positive trend for the industry all the same. [prnewswire]

"...sacrifices Profile 2.0 (the latest firmware) and ethernet (a way to update to the latest firmware..."
Profiles are *hardware* standards. 2.0 means it's BDLive capable (thus the need for the ethernet).
