In Reply to: RE: Wow - I actually found a new Blu-ray player with analog outs for less than $100 posted by ppopp on July 19, 2015 at 14:01:10
Quote... "I purchased this item and once I got it I found out it is WIFI Ready and is not Wireless capable unless you purchase additional equipment. Once I contacted the sellers (Galorco) they told me if I returned it I would have to pay for shipping plus a 40% restocking fee. So since I would loose almost half of my money I kept it. This product is false advertisment because it doesnt not have Pandora Radio, Weather Forecast, Bloomberg TV, Picasa and other applications listed on the box. Then the netflix is not the full version, in order to play movies with Netflix you have to add them to your Instant que, so the Netflix software does not allow you to view or search movies to watch. Dont waist your time ordering this, I have a Samsung Blu-ray player also and it is a lot better and cheaper. Save your money and find a better product."

That a bit like complaing corn flakes didn't come with milk, and yet the picture on the box suggested it did.
... but only when you shop at Fools For Less.
The product description says the wireless capability is optional...meaning, as you said, you have to buy some other box before that works.
I always take a good long look at the back input/output panel before I buy anything, if there's no wireless antenna, it's not out of the box wireless capable. But who expects that on top of everything else for $80? Only a uninformed consumer....

Perhaps only an uninformed consumer will miss the fact there are several Blu-ray players for under $80 that do in fact include built-in Wifi.
Samsung BD-J5700
Panasonic DMP-BD91
Sony BDP-BX510
Samsung BD-H5900
LG PB350
...and several more I didn't bother to list.

I didn't bother to check if any of these also include analog outputs as the OP requires.
there are three pics on the amazon listing of the panasonic unit, none of which show the back panel! there is also no clue as to whether analog outs are included. you also cannot rely on return policies online, obviously. so as always the consumer, at these prices, has to do the research alone.
