Basic features, but it does the job!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this same exact Blu-ray player about 3 years ago for my parents and it has been great, but now it's around $30 more expensive for the exact same product. Other than the price, it is a great buy, even a Best Buy! Not many features, but it is reliable, sturdy and has a small footprint.
