Asda ONN CD969 MP3/CD bargain

Quaint1

Whilst in my local (Basildon) Asda today, I noticed that some of the portable CD players had been reduced, one by Dual and one by ONN - both (I think) exclusive to Asda. Both play MP3 CD's as well as normal CD's.
The Dual (Player and headphones) only was priced at £11.97 (originally £17.97), the ONN (with Car power adaptor, headphones and cassette adaptor) was priced at £9 (originally £19.97) - here's the thing; they are exactly the same player, just differently badged! Same case, same features (including text display of track name for MP3, anti-skip, etc.), just a different badge and, in the cheaper model (the ONN) the car adaptors.
I know probably most people would prefer a normal MP3 player, (indeed, I have a Shuffle I use for work), but I like the idea of a CD player I can play
MP3 Cd's on overnight (I like to nod off to a favourite audiobook!) or on occasions where extreme portablility isn't required - it runs off two AA batteries or off the mains if you have a suitable adaptor.
Other Asda stores might have the same thing going on, so if you want a really cheap MP3 player,, it might be worth a look!
