Phillips Blu-Ray Player €79 in Heaton's

donmeister · 14-06-2010 06:26PM #1

Hey all, just spotted this today in Heaton's Castlebar, when I was in town (not sure if its a nationwide thing)

Phillips BDP3000 Blu-Ray Player for €79 down from €99. Im not in the market for one, but handy for someone looking for a cheap Blu-ray Player. Has BD Live 2.0 and 7.1 surround sound, apparently.

Review here seems postive : http://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/blu-ray-players/philips-bdp3000-blu-ray-player-633303/review

Ya have to wonder, when will these guys ever cop on and put the dam usb port on the front of the dam box.

interesting. anyone got any more reviews?

the usb doesn't support usb sticks etc.. i think it maybe only used for updating the player.

Update to the latest firmware enables it to read files from a usb.

aaarrrraagggghhhh

I paid 125 for the same one in Argus on Sunday :mad::mad::mad:

Nice player you need to go to the Philips website to get a firmware upgrade for avi divx etc. Apparently all you need to do is copy the file to the usb key and launch it. Havnt got a chance to do mine yet.

Just bring it back within 30 days for refund, no reason necessary for Argos

I can't see an optical out on that picture. Does it have one anywhere?

No, it doesn't have one.

The usb is for firmware updates, and more important, for the bd live.
You need a memory stick of at least 1 Gb.

As for optical output, I believe only have coaxial digital, no optical.
It can be converted into region free dvd (no blueray) pretty easy.

Just bought one of these ( Display Model) in Harvey Norman Naas for €59 Euro. They had a couple left advertised at €69 but are open to negotiation.

Hi,
Is it the blu-ray player they have for €69?? I looked online and can only see the 'upscaling' model for €69 and the blu-ray one at €99

indabunka · 02-03-2011 02:25PM

yes it was the Blueray model and it is advertised as being reduced from €99 Euro down to €69 Euro. I went in at lunchtime to get another but they are sold out in Naas and will not be restocking as the model has been replaced by a 3D version.
