£59.99 from Tesco with 3dvd, includes A Perfect Storm (George Clooney), Space Jam, (Bugs Bunny & Michael Jordan) and Friends Series & Ep 1-4 extended version on double sided dvd.

This player will play;
CD, CDR, CDRW
DVD R2(regions code free with remote, see below),
DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW,
VCD, SVCD,
MP3 VBR, MP3 longfile name support
Kodak Picture CD/JPG image support
MPEG1/2 ISO, plays MPEG1/MPEG2 files with no authoring

This is sold as a Region 2 dvd player. There is a simple hack that will allow you to play all regions. Details as follows;
turn on using remote
open draw using remote
press "setup"
go to custom setup using remote cursors
press number "3" four times
(may need to repeat this until)
region codes come up
using remote cursors light up what code you want "0"
using remote press "enter"
using remote press "setup" to finish hack

I have tested this on mine on region 1 and 4, which works fine, so I'm assuming region 3 will work. Also if you unplug to move you shouldn't have to repeat the above. So, now it's an even better dvd player with all regions at that price!

Plays everything ive chucked at it, svcds ive made, vcds ive made,on all brands and unbranded media, dvdrs ive made, and imports from malaysia. I only bought it because it was cheap, but this is a great DVD player. If your looking for a good cheap player but don't want to pay a fortune (for 5.1.) then i would highly recommend the Dansai DVD955.

I only have one gripe about this player. My remote only works when pointed directly at player. But my friend has the same player and says his doesn't have this problem. So maybe this is an individual case.

I have heard reports that occasionally has slight freeze/blocking on VCD's & DVD's. Seems to struggle with high bitrate SVCDs , it jitters on sound but for it price its a good player. Again I feel these are individual case as I haven't experienced any of this.
