DVD Recorder £59.99 at Asda [CLOSED]

Madmonkey_2

Just picked one up in Pudsey (Leeds) - £59.99. Can't see them being there long though - whilst I was reading the info on the box, 3 people came and picked some up.

It's open 24 hours though -so get in the car now!!

Version in Pudsey is 1600ME. Don't have any DivX discs, but nice to know it'll play'em!! And if it doesn't - well £60 for a DVD recorder in itself is a bargain!!

Also had the PYE one for £84.99 (reduced from £89.99)

Hi can anyone else help re this issue please?

HUSHPUPPY,
the letters after 1600 are not printed on the front of the recorder, rather on the rear (barcode)

hope it helps.

By the way - don't ASDA have a 'price promise' guarantee (I'm sure I saw the sign in the store window)?

Usually they get away with it on electrical goods because the model numbers are slightly different to Curry's / Dixons, etc - but surely they should price match the exact same item in their own stores....

Might be worth a try if your ASDA is still selling them at £89.99!

Just went to Asda Croydon, £84,99 with the ME code. Didn't buy one yet as I am annoyed they are cheaper elsewhere.

May do later.

The divx support is important to me and I'm slightly concerned about compatability. I have a £30 DK DVD player that will play *anything* you throw at it.

Asda in Cumbernauld have plenty of both the Cyberhome and Pye units for £59.94. I got 3 Pyes (they have RGB in and out for digital recording from my Sky+ box), one for myself and 2 Xmas presents.

There doesn't seem to be anywhere in Central London doing them cheap

Just returned from buying one at Manchester Eastlands. They had plenty.

The Cribbs store at Bristol has plenty at £59.94. They've also got some Pye PRV645 dvd recorders at the same price.

Not the best review in the world for the Cyberhome, but what do you expect for 59.99 ?

The omission of a RGB Scart input is the big problem as I guess most people want to hook it up to an external source such as a Sky box or Freeview box.

For me, the whole point in buying a DVD recorder is to be able to record in the almost the same quality as the program was broadcast .... the Cyberhome may be a bit of a let down according to the review.
