Cheap multi region portable dvd player?

Title says it all. But although Im looking for a good deal, if I found one that was really lightweight I would stretch to a bit more. Maximum udget aroung £100 (ish)

  • Hi
    Was looking at this one yesterday, brilliant reviews, it really looks excellent, although I've never heard of it before.

    I think the Goodmans me and normal found looks better :p
  • Hi
    Everyone to their own opinion, but did you read this?
    Surprising, because they are the world's biggest manufacturer of Portable DVD Players - the hidden name behind nearly all the big brands like Toshiba, Walmart, Bestbuy, Audiovox, Hyundai, RCA, Thomson and Sharp. In 2003, Shinco produced approximately 2 million units out of the total worldwide demand of 3 million Portable DVD Player
    and this "Over the past year our exclusive Shinco DVD Players have been grabbing awards left right and centre from some of the most prestigious review magazines on the market, including "Best Buy" awards from T3 Magazine and Essential Hi-Fi and Home Cinema as well as winning 1st place both magazines' "Portable DVD Group Tests":
    I am seriously considering buying one of these myself.

    Sorry wonderful :o

    I just don't think it looks as nice (notice the bulge at the back?)

    The Goodmans one has a black layer which I think looks very smart...

    Also it can be purchased in-store, and from a very reputable retailer, which is better if anything goes wrong....
  • Hi
    I understand what your saying, but I wasn't talking about image, that isn't really that important to me. I was talking about whats inside the box, its key features are very impressive, to many to mention here. And as for the retailer, don't know anything them, so can't say.

    But we'll agree to disagree, okay
