Reading reviews I'd say don't expect it to last years, but then again, what do you want for £9?"Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art."

yeah, it's at this price because they're not paying the workers in the far east that much.

I think you will find that 95% of electronic goods are made by people getting paid similar amounts, the cost difference lies in cheaper components and finishes, hence more expensive = Better looking and lasts longer. While cheap = tacky looking and won't last as long.

Presumably low wages are better than the alternative, no wages.0 -
Heh, paid £25 for one of these (pretty much the same, slightly different finish) from Asda a couple of years ago.
It's rock solid and plays anything I throw at it!0
