cheapest portable dvd with freeview and games

debjk

Its my eldest daughters Birthday on Fri and she is saving all her birthday money to buy one of these I have seen them on ebay for around the £150 but not sure I trust them has anyone seen them anywhere else cheapish online or even bought one of the ones on ebay and can tell me if they are any good I dont want her wasting her money on a load of tat. It has to come with the freeview and the games and controller.

Thanks in advance

I got a Chinese one with Freeview and games. 7 inch widescreen, I paid about £100 eight or so months ago, from eBay. It was actually sent from China, or Hong Kong.

The freeview is excellent (as long as you have a good aerial, obviously you won't get away with using the supplied one unless you have an excellent signal), DVD playback is good, it plays DivX and xvid etc, and is very compatible.

On the downside, the games were rubbish. It actually runs old NES roms, and not very well. The frame rate is insufficient to make the games enjoyable.

The screen wasn't top-notch. Dark scenes are quite murky. All in all, it was a good purchase for the price, but prices have fallen quite a lot since then. I'd be tempted now to go for a better known make - as long as it offered DivX.
