  • I bought one of these from asda a couple of years ago and I'm more than happy with it, it was just under £20 then.

    Hi,
    I'd like to get one of these for my uncle who lives in Spain. Does anyone know whether it would work over there just with a simple adapter plug?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    yes it will work ok and its multi region out of the box.

    Yes, it will work no problem.

    Even if it wasn't multi-region it would still work, as region 2 is for Europe, Japan and a few other countries. Plus Spain runs on 230V +/- 10% the same as the UK. The picture and sound is output over scart or phono, so no problem there. Simply treat Spain as the UK.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
    (OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)
  • Hi I dont have a Asda near me however we were in Superdrug on Thursday, they have a Bush DVD player for sale it is not £9 but not much more expensive at a £10, hope this helps some fellow money savers :j

  • For all those wanting to know. This machine is NOT DIVX or MP4. Mine was mulit region out of the box, but i did try the hack already posted on here and if yours wasn't the hack DOES work to make it so.

    bought one of these for the kids a few months ago, was about £17 then, even that was well worth the money, they've never had a problem with it, it's played anything we've put in it...

    will be buying a couple more at that price tho...if they've got any left !!
  • I know this is off topic but someone on here might be able to answer my question - are the little games you get for nintendo ds's the same all over the world - some you just change the language on, or do they differ say for a japanese set? Only we have family going to Japan and they wondered if they got a game for DD whether it would work?
    Sorry for going off on a different path!

    Amazing! £9 for a DVD player that can also fly! Is it fixed-wing or more like a helicopter Divadee? Or perhaps a hot-air balloon?
