Saw this at Office Depot today for $199:

The specs on the OD site aren't very detailed. It's made by Contel, and all the BD players on their page are Profile 2.0:

Can't really tell if it's any of those, but it looks almost identical to the BD100D model with these specs:

BD Profile 2.0
VFD Display
USB Host 2.0 Connector
Built-in Ethernet Connector
Built-in Dolby True HD Decoder
Built-in DTS HD Decoder
Disc Compatible: Blu-ray Disc, DVD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW
Digital Audio Output: Coaxial, Optical
Analog Audio Output: 2.0 CH, 5.1 CH (Optional), 7.1 CH (Optional)
Video Output: Composite, YPbPr
DVD Video Up-conversion: 720P, 1080i, 1080P
HDMI V1.3

Not a bad price for a 2.0 player (if indeed it's the same as the Contel BD100D) with DTS HD and TrueHD decoding. Guess I should've checked out the box Ahhh well.

Hopefully their players are betetr than their TVs, otherwise I wouldn't reccomend anyone buy one...

They're just rebadges (the TVs, likely the players too). I had a 32" LCD by them that served me well until I sold it.
