If anyone wants a very cheap multi-region dvd player, have a look at this player from Amazon.co.uk.

Crap make, but if your skint or want one for the kids. Free delivery as well.

when i see good stuff like that i automatically think "there must be something wrong with it to sell it for that price"...

i guess my dad has conditioned me like that or something.

maybe the laser is the same dodgy one the ps2 dvd player uses...

Yamaha's top end equipment is second to none, check out their 'Motif' range of synths, the 'CG' range of acoustic guitars, the BB3000 bass guitar, in fact, just about any pro equipment they make is generally top quality. You seriously need to get your facts straight and not make childish generalisations.

ASDA's have a Schnieda 875 DVD player, it is really £57.97 but they are going for £38!

Excellent player!
