Just to give some people hope... my local store had one left - well it did until I went there. I was so surprised I purchased it and gave it to my parents....
It was marked at £50 so that explains why it hadn't been snapped up.
(my home town is Stourbridge by the way!)
Good luck to those still after them.0 -
Just got one from w h smith @ cheshire oaks.
I asked the manager and he said they have plenty in stock.

Good luck0 -
i've got one of these ... have managed to play everything including divx, avi, mpeg and xvid. High quality xvids do not always play completely smoothly (stilll watchable though) - unpacking the bitstream does not help.
Only problems i've found are the flimsy tray and the strength of the remote control - but neither are big issues. Overall very very happy.
ps does anyone know of a way to go to the middle of a divx without fast forwarding, or is it not possible?0 -
Just managed to find one of these after hunting through several stores across London.
And it does play everything i've tried until now.
Thanks for posting this great bargain!0 -

Hi Guys
I managed to get this machine at my place but when I play Gladiator DVD on it some how it doesnt work in English? it uses some other language doea anyone know how to play it in English. I tried to switch english subtitles but still the movie is not in english. Has anybody experience the same problem?
Regards
Pats
I had the same problem with another film.
I fixed it by going into the setup and under the audio/analog turn the downmix to stereo.
have you also tried the audio button on the remote!0 -

I ordered one of these on the internet to be delivered to the Portsmouth Store. I received an email to say it had been despatched and would arrive in 4 working days.
When I phoned to check after 5 working days Customer Services said they had no idea where the dvd player had gone and would have to re-order it.
I think I missed an opportunity to try to have it delivered to my home for free but we live and learn !!0 -
which store did you get it in please?
cheeeers
Found it at the WH Smith in Uxbridge - i know its not exactly in London, had tried in various stores in Central London earlier. Hope you get one.0
