Portable DVD player comparisons

Hi, I'm after a twin screen DVD player to use in the car but also at home, on an aeroplane etc. I quite fancy the one on ebuyer which is £117 inc VAT (excl delivery) and I can get a battery & charger for £25 which makes it approx £145.

I was wondering if there were any better bargains out there for a 2 screen system. I appreciate that it's cheaper to buy 2 separate cheap ones but we're using them with 2 children that are too young for headphones so they'd have to be watching the same film anyway.

    have a look at the nextbase dvd tablets.

    try ebay as there are a few ebay shops on there that deal with nextbase stuff.

    We've just bought some Nextbase ones from Costco. They are excellent. Brilliant quality. The ones we have got can play separate DVDs as well as a lead that joins them together so that you can play the same DVD on each screen (I know you say your children are too young to be bothered now, but believe me - it wont be long before they want their own thing on!!!). I was very hesitant at first, but my husband won in the end. We tried them out a few weekends ago and my husband and I actually had a conversation in the car without being interrupted or one of them arguing.....that sold me straight away!!

    How much were they and do they still have any? There IS a Costco near about 25 mins away (near the Trafford Centre, Manchester) I could go to, but I'd have to factor in the cost of joining, which is how much?

    They were on special offer with a voucher a few weeks ago and ended up £200. The voucher offer has ended I believe, but they were still cheaper (£250). The model is SDV77-B twin car kit, although you can still use them separately. E-bay are around £253 not inc postage. Costco would still be cheaper I would have thought. Some places are nearly £400 when we first searched on the internet.
