CHEAP: $70 Blu-ray Disc Player Hits Target


Remember when Blu-ray Disc players were so expensive that even the PlayStation 3 at its $600 launch price was considered a bargain? I do. And how the world has changed now that consumers can pick up a Blu-ray Disc player for the same price as a collector's edition of a game for that PS3.

Engadget reports that Target is now selling a Philips BDP5010 Blu-ray Disc player for $69.98 that features DivX support, a SDHC card reader, BD Live, and HDMI CEC.

Girl killed in Wii Remote mix-up

A girl has been killed after picking up a loaded gun, apparently mistaking it for a Wii Remote gun-style controller.

Three year-old Cheyenne Alexis McKeehan from Wilson County Tennessee died from a single self-inflicted shot to the abdomen from a .380 calibre semi-automatic pistol. The loaded firearm had been left on the coffee table in the living room of the girl’s house, after her stepfather thought he had heard a prowler outside.

The youngster was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
