Where to find a DVD player under £20?

Hello! My Matsui DVD player from Currys has packed up after 3 months (I don't have the receipt....), so I need a new one as I have just registered for the Lovefilm 3 months free trial offer!

Does anyone know of one under £20, that would be reliable, maybe from a supermarket, or online, maybe a special offer somewhere? I don't need anything fancy, just something that works! :D
Many thanks!

    Did you know that it's proof of purchase required i.e if you paid by card, then a statement would suffice.

    I got a Bush DVD player in HMV for £15 for my kids. It's not the best but it's not bad either!

    Sure I saw a basic dvd player in our local tesco for £10.
    I hate migraines.

    Thanks everyone! I will have a look in Tesco later today, but I also have my eye on a couple on Ebay.....I really only want to spend about a tenner, as I seem to be very unlucky with my players!

    I tried the Viking one, but it told me I had to spend at least £35 to get the dvd player. :p
  • they would keep the details of your purchase on file because they have to take them due to connecting the dvd player up to a tv for tv licensing laws
