Wal-mart's Father's Day deals: $128 Blu-ray player, $398 37-inch LCD HDTV

Love it or hate it, you can't deny that Wal-mart knows how to stick a thumb in the eye of its competitors. It enjoys offering deeply discounted products around holidays, especially big ticket items like electronics. Last year, it offered a $128 Magnavox Blu-ray player as a "door breaker" on Black Friday, and it's bringing that deal back starting on Sunday (through next Saturday) for Father's Day shopping.

Of course, Magnavox isn't a top-tier brand, but people looking to upgrade to Blu-ray on the cheap probably won't care. The mega-chain is also offering select Blu-ray discs at a two-for-$20 rate. On the HDTV front, Wal-mart is dangling another bargain-brand deal with a 37-inch LCD Sanyo model. It also is offering a 42-inch 1080p Vizio set for $697, while a 52-inch Sony Bravia LCD will run $1,788. Note, however, that you can get the same Sony (the KDL-52S5100) for $1,649 with free shipping from Amazon.com.
