Note that says it has a VGA out, how novel.

If that is it then it's possible to make it region free too.

There's something very similar already available at Aldi.

Think it has a 5-in-1 card reader, and was labelled as xvid, free HDMI cable and 3 year warranty.

Was £39.99, now £29.99

A trawl through the websites told me that Lidl sold a very similar looking player in Eire last month for around 45 Euros. The sites reported much the same, i.e. that the the USB card was limited to 512Mb but a large number of purchasers reported that units had no problem with larger memory sizes and indeed, were able to read external HDDs if formatted in FAT32

I'm not saying its the same one but it does appear to be.
Does anyone know more?
