&

Curtis Blu-Ray Player DVD1100UK - ASDA £95

These offers are good, but I think it is worth people remembering that Blu-Ray is not a rock solid consumer electronics product yet; it doesn't always work out of the box so continued support from the manufacturer is going to be crucial. Given the choice of a "Curtis" for £95 or a "Sony" for £99 I would spend the extra £4 for the product support. Add to that Sony invented Blu-Ray and therefore have a vested interest in it working for *their* customers...

There's no point in saving a few £ if you will need to buy a new player within two years because the one you bought won't play any new discs and there is no firmware update to rectify the situation.

The Limit Player from HMV looks interesting, MKV playback also? Would be interested in reviews of this.

My current dvd player plays divx on disks. does anyone know of a good cheap dvd player which includes a usb slot so i could just upload to a memory stick instead. im not bothered about bluray

I ended up taking mine back to Debenhams - there was a problem with the front panel display saying LOAB instead of LOAD and NO BISC instead of NO DISC, and it wouldn't play Ice Age 1 or 3. I went to Richer Sounds and got a Sony BDP-S360D which is region-unlocked for DVDs for £99.

Still a good deal if you get a working one.

check out the ONN from Asda if you've got one near. Pretty sure it's got a usb port that supports divx, and was no more than £30. Will double check when in ork tomorrow

John Lewis are doing the Philips BDP3000/05 model for £97 delivered free to your local store or home
Good deal but most important is a inclusive 2 year warranty

Richer sounds is slightly cheaper but i always strugggle to get there deals in time.

Hope this deal helps someone

Hi...bought a Philips DVP3360 for £40 from ASDA few weeks ago. USB 2 port on front plays Divx etc from USB stick but I also tried a 320GB portable Western Digital drive formatted to FAT32 and hey presto......it works a treat.....instant access to 320GB of films, photos and music!

Had the previous model DVP5960 which was great but only USB1.1 and this new one works a treat. Also has HDMI out etc...
