The best I have seen do far is this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4dreamer Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Don't think you'll find anything cheaper than that mate, unless it's made of sticky-back plastic and squeezy bottles. £50 - complete bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 My local safe way had some at £34 last week - dont know if it was one off or usual price, but that was already multi region apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Just spotted that one this morning. I nearly bought one a couple of months ago when they were around £90, so I'm glad I waited. That is a stunning player for peanuts really!

Sven Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Probably a stupid question, but can you play .avi and/or .mpg files on these things? It would be nice to play these movies on Tv instead of my LCD screen. (I know you can do this with a S-VHS cable,but thus far I only managed to get my desktop on Tv, and that got old pretty soon...) I'm really lo-tech with this [censored] as you can tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Ive seen a couple that can do avi, divx etc...i believe theres a couple on Scan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punjabi-A4 Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 S4dreamer...if you can find some in stock...Richer Sounds are doing the same offer for what hi-fi readers on a multiregion tosh 330 for 79.99. @ Sven...you can buy the Kiss dvd players which play .avi files downloaded from the internet...also there's another made by LiteOn.

Sven Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Thanks Guys! I'll check it out. I hope there's one that can do it all, region free and able to play downloaded movies. The very best would be one that records as well, but the prices for recorders are still a bit steep. I might have to wait a bit, as the DVD players have dropped in price, so may the recorders in the (near) future. At the other hand, an acqaintance recently bought a decent - region free - player for about €50,- Unfortunately they were sold out at warp speed...

Pincher Posted September 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Will do. I ordered it Saturday, so I guess it'll be here by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snez22 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 http://www.gt-mobiles.com/dvd.asp?CMB=Checked&SW=999 the KISS dvd player is the only divx certified player on the market. will play all .avi .mpg files straight off a cdr. or you can put a few films on a dvdr and play them straight off. my mate has his XBOX chipped to play all movies and mpeg and avi files. it's class.

Ari Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I bought this one from Amazon. Multi region, remote control, digital display, and quite a smart little unit. Got it for the bedroom. Not the most high quality piece of AV equipment I've ever seen but perfectly adiquete and a bargain at £35 delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
