Dvd player with divx xvid and 1tb ext usb hdd support

Taffoire's OH here

I was looking for some help, I want two cheap and cheerful dvd players that have support for large ext hdd's (1tb) via usb so I can play all my divx and xvid files.

It has to be recent, (been searching some forums and keep coming across players from 2006)

no more than £45 and available from shops like Argos/comet or online shops such as amazon.

Oh and should preferably "look like a dvd player" The Samsung H1080 just looks daft

Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I've heard those players mentioned quite a bit, I was hoping for a new player

    Do you know anything about the Philips DVP3310/05 or DVP3360/05

    I had a rubbish response from Philips conflicting reviews I have seen on other sites, saying :

    Thank you for your recent e-mail.

    Our DVD recorders and players can use USB flash drives and memory sticks of up to 4GB that are FAT.32 formatted, it is not possible to use an external HDD with the unit.

    Should you require any further information please contact our Customer Care Centre

    Has anyone bought a Sumvision Phoenix Premium DVD Player? It gets good review, cheapest I've found is £31.86 on Amazon.
  • I've got one and it's pretty good for the price. Not tried it with an external hdd but it plays movies off a USB stick fine.
