Well, Costco had it on Black Friday for $99 with instant rebate and so I went for it. I actually went a week later, Thursday after Black Friday, and Costco had all their yellow BF shelf tags still on all the products in the warehouse, and so I picked up two of these units for the $99 price. I like that. I hope they do that every year. I hate crowds and waking up when its still dark. I would never sit in line overnight to give my money to someone. But that's me.
I didn't even know this model existed. The 2nd generation Vizio BD player.
I only knew of the VBR100 until now.
Both are still on Vizio's web site.
I've owned a half dozen HD DVD units, a XDE 500, and 4 Sony BDP players in the past.
This one seems to be pretty decent. Everything loads pretty fast.
Hooked it up to my Vizio 50 PDP and my Vizio 55 LCD HDTVs.
Going to try it on my friends Panasonic PDP 50 this weekend.
Got some of my old BD discs out and took it for a spin:
BDA test disc
Pixar Up
Dark Knight
Transporter
Shakira
Pirates
Don't really like paying the expensive BD disc title prices, so got a bunch of these locally from folks unloading on craigslist. $5-10 each is something I can tolerate.
Not as good SD DVD upconversion as my XDE which is my default SD player.
Was checking out the Toshiba BDX2000, but from what' I've read, this one seems to be as good or better. The Toshiba is the same as a Magnavox?!
Haven't used my A30 in awhile. I guess it's hard when there is no more new titles of software releases...
I was looking for other owners reviews and comments but nothing on the VBR110. Very unusual for avsforum.
So hopefully this is my attempt at a 'first post' of a product discussion here.
Hope to hear what you like, don't like about it.
Happy Holidays!

The worse part is that I no longer have my receipt, or box
) I am looking for a code. I was emailing with a Vizio support person about switching the region, referring to the eBay offers, and he said it wasn't possible because they sell these products only in region 1 markets to begin with. So, "hard coded". On the other hand, they are 110-220V (and I have both this one and a 55 inch Vizio flat screen plugged into 220V right now). I also emailed the eBay seller.... no reply. Any help would be appreciated!
