Conclusion
Toshiba may have entered the Blu-ray game a bit later than other manufacturers, but the company has gained ground quickly with its second-generation lineup. The BDX2500 is a well-adorned Blu-ray player offered at a very competitive price. This is one of the better deals you'll find for a player with multichannel analog audio outputs, which makes it a good choice for people who own older, non-HDMI-equipped A/V receivers. The Web platform doesn't include quite as many services as some competitors, but desirable video-on-demand options like Netflix, Blockbuster and VUDU are all here.
