DVD player hunt

marylee

Please help me to decide which dvd player to buy. I have got my eyes set on a Sarlogic multiregion at £29.99 and a sony DVD-NS355 multi region at £62.55, both at Amazon.co.uk and with good reviews. I cannot decide whether to go for the cheap one as I will be buying a DVD recorder in the near future. Both my TV and VHS recorder are Sony, and am wondering whether I should really go for the Sony DVD. It's has to be very basic for me to use. Thanks.

My view is go for the cheapest. You often find that a wider range of discs will play on them rather than the branded players.

Two Pacific brands on sale at Asda 29.99 or 34.99 are excellent value for money. Not multi-region but I am sure if you post the model number someone will come up with a code to make it multi-region.

There is a  dvd player at WHS, that was £99, then £39.99, now £29.99, which plays everything, DivX, Xvid, through to Karaoke, well worth a look. But be quick as the Techies will snap them up. It is called Skyworth (3650) and was discussed a while ago on the grabbit threads.

Link when I find it.  Smiths

Try https://www.richersounds.co.uk DVD players from £14.95 on the Trade Counter page.

Wait until after Xmas and no doubt they will re-intriduce their £19.95 DVD player brand new.

I agree with sallyd, the £29.99 Pacific at Asda is a neat player. Use this link to make it multi region.

I bought the Starlogic from Amazon, following a recommendation on another thread.

Very pleased and already multiregion, so no trying to hack it. I would recommend it, but don't forget the Scart cable.

Thankyou for all the info guys. Have just ordered the Skyworth DVD player from WHsmith for my sister. It's handy as it has a karaoke function aswell which is what my sister wanted anyway, so 2 gifts rolled into 1 really!!!! Hope she likes it after all this!!
