DVD player for girls with a passion for fashion

Advantages: remote, nice design, portable
Disadvantages: battery pack is a bit bulky

..., next/previous, pause/stop and play. You can use the DVD player with or without the headphones as it has a built in speaker. Features are: * 6.2" (widescreen 16:9) TFT LCD screen * Adjustable angle display * Switch for 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio * Play's DVDs and DR-R/RW discs * Built-in speaker * Angle function * Headphone jack * Audio and video output The DVD player can either be hooked up to the tele, if your daughter doesn't have another DVD player or can easily be made portable by clipping the battery pack onto the bottom. This is then charged through the mains adapter supplied or if it isn't being used on the go, it can be played directly from the mains. The battery pack is a bit on the bulky side, and means the DVD player is slightly lifted up on the back if it is placed on a flat surface. This doesn't bother...

Review of Bratz Portable DVD Player

Technika MP-308 4GB MP3 player with FM tuner

Advantages: Wide range of features
Disadvantages: Difficult to navagate menus

...on (frankly, I can do without these features) The unit supports MP3 format, WMA and WAV formats, which should satisfy about 90% of users. I believe the unit only comes in white, with a chrome-effect bezel around the white-on-black LCD display ? two transparent covers are included; a ?neon pink? one (presumably for ?girlies?) and a dark grey one (for ?blokes??) ? this is the first issue I have with this player ? the backlighting on the screen isn?t especially bright, and by the time you snap the cover on, it?s difficult to see the information on the display in normal daylight. Controls are kept to an absolute minimum; a single white button provides basic ?up down left right and fire? functions that variously allow you to navigate menus, skip tracks, adjust volume etc. There?s two more buttons, a ?lock? which disables the ?joystick...

Review of Technika MP3 player

PS3 slim

Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation
Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live

...'m running a 46" tv & any text is far too small unless you sit with your nose pressed against the screen! What is "HOME" all about???? Didn't spend a massive amount of time on it, but wander around, go into a room/building for the 1st time, no, wait, it needs to be downloaded & installed, pain!!!!!!! then wander about some more!!!!! it just seems to have lots of guys wandering about hoping that some digital girl will talk to them & become their pretend girlfriend??????? It just struck me as very very sad! Maybe it's an age thing!! Go out, go to a nightclub & meet a real girl!!! infact, go anywhere, a sports club, a library even, a church hall! Anywhere, but meet real people that you might have a chance with!!! Blu-ray-I've caved in& started getting blu-ray instead of DVD's since the PS3s arrival, can't fault them, the picture is as good as your...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (PS3)

  DVD Player that can play DivX .avi files and more!

Advantages: Plays DivX AVI and MPEG files, Supports lots of formats, Looks good, Karaoke,
Disadvantages: DivX 3.11, 4.02 plays slightly slanted, cheap plasticy remote, Doesn't play some NTSC encoded files

...the following: 1. Turn power on 2. Eject tray 3. Press 1 0 3 0 4. Press 0 (for Region 0) After the steps, the On-Screen Display will show "Region 0" and the player is now set to Multi-region so it can play DVDs from all regions. That is very easy to do and is definitely much safer than having to do a firmware upgrade to make it region-free. DVD discs with minor scratches play flawlessly but ones with deeper or too many scratches causes the video to skip or worse yet, freeze completely. I've found that some scratched up discs freeze the player completely. Sometimes it manages to move a bit but it would keep happening. The player has completely frozen on me and pressing the 'Power' button to turn off the player is no good because it's a standby button. Unplugging the player then plugging it back in was the only way that managed to get...

Review of DK Digital DVD-500 DivX DVD player

PS3, for you and me?

Advantages: Stylish, good games available + lots more on the way, blu ray
Disadvantages: No HD cable in the box, no rumble, limited BC

...writing messages. Other things worthy of a mention are the Sixaxis controller, it is now wireless, is very light and has a built in motion sensor. This is utilised in most PS3 games with varying degrees of success. It is also rechargeable with the included USB cable. As an Xbox 360 owner I am used to the sound of a small power plant in my room when I use it, I was very pleased to discover that the PS3 is practically silent even when playing games which is very nice. The Blu Ray drive is also a great thing to have as now I can watch HD movies and will not have to go out and buy a separate Blu Ray player which can cost upto £500. What Blu Ray means for games is that they can be packed full with more content as there is much more space on a Blu Ray disk compared to a standard DVD. Games Games are what make a games console so even with all...

Review of Mr Bean Vol.3 (DVD)

One for the DVD Player

Advantages: A different take on a musician on the road, amusing and touching
Disadvantages: None!

...scene in the USA back in the 1980s and this documentary features Tilbrook's first solo tour of the country back in 2001 with a team of just 3 other people - his partner Suzanne, a cameraman and producer/director Amy Pickard. Pickard is a long-time Squeeze fan from Ohio and in this charming documentary she films Tilbook tour the US from coast to coast, predominantly in an ageing and unreliable RV (motorhome), another money saving device on this cut price tour. It is a revelation to see a highly successful and talented musician such as Tilbrook doing a tour such as this - but of course this is the reality for many musicians once the limos have gone and corporate record labels stop paying all the bills. The Film The film starts in Buffalo, New York, with the news that the RV they had planned to commence the tour in is unavailable...

Review of Glenn Tilbrook - One For The Road (DVD)

DVD's a Plenty!!!

Advantages: cheap, compact, great bargain
Disadvantages: none

...from around that price and appear still big and bulky. This particular Woolworth?s Worth It DVD player was tiny and looked pretty snazzy in a compact way. So to look at the DVD is a nice silver in colour and is 4cm in height, 20cm in width and 16 cm in length. So as you can tell really the whole system is pretty tiny (especially if you saw our last Liteon DVD recorder which took up a little too much room). There is no display screen on the front of the DVD player and all the buttons are on top of the box instead of usually being at the front. The DVD is placed in a flip open lid that sits on the top of the box and therefore you wouldn?t be able to put anything else on top of this system unlike many other DVD players. However the fact that this box is so tiny and thin I think you would not really want to put anything on top of it...

Review of Woolworths DVD Player

Playstation 3

Advantages: Cheap Blu-Ray player, great graphics, free wifi, internet browser
Disadvantages: Expensive, some games are better on 360, 40 GB model doesn't have backwards compatability

...There are probably 3 categories of consumer: (1) Gamers with a HD TV who are also quite interested in the multimedia/blue ray angle. (2) Serious gamers either without a HD TV or who are not interested in high def for films etc.. (3) HD TV/ multimedia people who are not that interested in games. If you are in (1) or (3) categories then this is a bargain at the moment. One of the cheapest/best blue ray players with constant support. Now upscales dvds and supports divx etc.. Supports the very latest version of blu ray and is future proof. Sony can not afford to have this fail and the constant updates are great and frequent. Also of advantage (over other systems) are: Low failure rate, built in wifi (even on 40 gb model), no external plug, no external hd-dvd (blu ray built in), no annual online fees. It also looks good underneath tv...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

DVD player with a bad stutter

Advantages: Upconversion to 1080i, HDMI, DIVX Playback
Disadvantages: Not very Durable, Both my players have broken

...A great DVD player with Upconversion to 780p/1080i, HDMI and component video outputs as well as DIVX playback. Pity that it will only play for 60minutes before playback grinds to a halt. I bought this player as I've not long upgraded to a HDTV. I was noticing a bit of picture derogation using my old player (connected via SCART) and decided it was time to upgrade. I was not happy buying a Blue ray or HD DVD player until for format war has finished, so i was looking for a player with HDMI output. As soon as I saw the SD-5000 I was impressed with the slim design and the front of the player has a great finish and I knew it would look good underneath my TV. Once connected to my TV via the HDMI ( note no HDMI cable was included with the player I felt a little disappointed with this) The picture was improved instantly and there was...
