Inverters are about 90% or more efficient so use just a little more power than whatever you are powering.
Yeah, that would be a suggestion that I would make but some folks are over the top power "conservation" happy even though they use an inverter to power a 32" LCD TV to start with..
Adding a extra 20W-40W for a 120V Blu Ray player wouldn't hurt the bank at all. But one of the portables should be at the most 10W-15W (I have a portable DVD player which uses 9W) so there WOULD be some power "savings" to be had but not all that much.
Take into consideration that portable Blu Rays run from $70 to $200 and a simple 120V home Blu Ray (without surround sound) can be had for $30-$60 now days... I would buy the home unit and run it from the inverter since the TV would be using the inverter...
