Bargin For Sale: £99 for 7" In Car DVD Player (With Case) From Maplins
 

Come across this earlier...Seemed realyl good so I thought i'd share it with you all, in case it helps someone out. I was going to put this in the "For Sale" forum, but it appeared to violate the rules as I am not selling it personally, Maplins are, so I stuck it in here.

Nice bargin though for those with kids, 7" In-car DVD player with a headrest carrying-case for £99.99 Was £230. Saving *uses fingers* £130. It even plays DIVX and Xvid/VCDs and MP3s. What more do you want? :)

Best find yet, just ordered one for the wife/kids in the car.

I pay for it and never get to watch it, typical. :rolleyes: :p:

That's a good deal.....should be noted however there is no battery for this unit, only a 12v power adapters - so it wouldn't be suitable for the train or plane. You can buy a 240v adapter for home use.

From what I've heard, even ones with internal batteries are pretty lame and often pack up before you've barely manged to watch one DVD so you end up having to carry a shed load of AA batteries with you.
You could knock up a battery box (available from maplin.co.uk) for 8 NiMh 1.5v D or C rechargables to get your 12v and should be good enough capacity for a long train journey or a short/medium flight before recharging.
