14 DAY TRIAL // It looks like Best Buy is determined to match Radio Shack's Black Friday promo that offers AT&T's Samsung Galaxy S II for just $49.99 (37 EUR) with a new two-year agreement
In this regard, the retailer announced it will offer a Samsung BD-D5100 Blu-ray player valued at $89.99 (66 EUR) for free, with purchase of Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch.
The promotional offer is available beginning today, through Saturday, November 19, and allows customers who purchase Sprint's Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch smartphone for $199.99 (147 EUR), with a 2-year activation, to receive a Samsung Blu-ray player at no additional cost.
According to Best Buy, all customers who purchase the Android smartphone will receive the Blu-ray player beginning the week of December 5.
“This is a great holiday offer for our customers and something that they just can't find anywhere else. Through our partnership with Samsung and Sprint, we're able to bring the best of the smartphone and home theater categories together into one great deal,” said Scott Anderson, head of merchandising for Best Buy Mobile.
Those unfamiliar with the key features of the Samsung BD-D5100 Blu-ray player should know that the device supports a wide range of playable formats, including Blu-ray, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, DivX HD, WMV, WMA, MP3 and JPEG.
In addition, users will be able to turn the Epic 4G Touch into smart remote for the Blu-ray player, or user the AllShare feature to send photos and videos from the smartphone wirelessly to a TV via Blu-ray player over a home network.
The Blu-ray player packs built-in 256MB flash memory, HDMI port, as well as Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Digital TrueHD decoders.
It provides access to video content from Best Buy CinemaNow Netflix and YouTube, which can be enhanced via the HDMI interface.
