We'd heard VIZIO'sVBR100 BD-Live ready (& timed Wal-mart exclusive) Blu-ray player would be making an appearance this month, and our friends over at FormatWarCentral have not only spotted the rare bird in the wild, but brought one home and performed a video unboxing for all to experience. Be prepared for bad news like a lack of high definition cables included in the $178 package, though coax and optical audio outputs plus the too often-forgotten rear mounted USB port are welcome bonuses. Still avoiding the potential trampling issue at Wal-mart? Other stores should have a similar VBR110 model soon, check the video beyond the link or embedded after the break and imagine the packaging splayed about your own living room.
no need to be such a snob. I have 3 vizio HDTV's (and a samsung and a sony) and the VIZIO has proven to be a great value, no problems with any of the sets, and great picture and price. If your parents weren't buying you a expensive brand name tv, I'd bet you'd reconsider vizio....
Don't let him get to you fred. I've read nothing but good things about Vizio TVs, so KJ4GR is ignorant. He's confusing the low price with meaning it's a cheap, crappy product.
I didn't notice if this Blu-ray player does any type of streaming, but if it does netflix (or at least pandora, youtube, etc.), I'll probably be spending my money with them. There's nothing wrong with going for the best value.
My local Walmart had 5 of these in stock last night for $178. I would have bought one, but I would like to see a review before I do. Anyone know of an actual review online somewhere?
Wal*Mart probably ordered the analog outputs removed to save $20. Vizio models released to other stores will probably have the feature included since the CES 2009 version had them.

It wasnt a review, it was an unboxing.

Making shitty displays wasn't enough for Vizio? Now they have to go and make shitty blu-ray players.

looks slick, possibly good bedroom player to pick up after a price drop...
