Sainsbury Mico 311 DVD Recorder £99

Not sure if this just my local store - Washington

They have a stack of these at £99 - a tad annoying as I bought one of their reconditioned ones for £89 a while ago.

Hopefully this isnt a repeat post for my first spot.

    ;):D A big thanks - just got back from whitehouse farm
    stockton and they have a few left. A week of searching as now come to a end- can get on with housework.
  • Got one of these in Sainsburys, Taunton last night. The Mrs made me write loads of Christmas cards before I was allowed to play with it, so was up till 1 this morning setting it up and playing with it.

    First impressions are very favourable.

    Good find. But does this have a dv in, enabling a dv camcorder to be plugged straight in? Cheers.
    Do you make things happen, watch things happen, or just wonder, what happened?
  • picked one of these up on monday from sainsburys in ashbourne , derbyshire.
    great dvd recorder, mine hadnt got a dv input, but worked great with my hi8 camcorder connected to the front av ports.
    picture quality in my view is excellent, only tested up to the 4 hr setting yet tho...but doubt ill use the 6 hr anyway.
    they had about 30-40 units left when i was there.

    great for £99 id recommend it ;D
    :) "if its out there...i'll take it !!!" :)

    Sainbury's at the White Rose Centre still has loads of these. It seems a lot better deal than the "so called" half price Matsui at Dixons. Not sure if it was a mistake but they had two models at the same price. There's the '311' and the '311i' the 'i' stands for i-link (firewire). So for those with a DV camcorder this is a steal ! The manufacurers (Mico) even have quite a good website.
    Got to be one of the cheapest new DVD recorders this side of Christmas,,,,?
    Light blue touchpaper and stand well back !
  • Must have been at least twenty on display at Nuneaton store this morning if anyone is interested.
  • can anyone tell me if these are DVD+rw or DVD-RW's that it takes (or even both!)

    Thanks
