    If playing a US dvd on a multiregion player does it require a TV capable of NTSC?

    Yes it does.

    USB, DIVX, and a lot more! Also other models available, AND you can use Quidco!

    Excellent player but the remote control is very unresponsive.

    Thanks, I suspected as much. Not that it matters now, discovered our TV plays NTSC anyway. Just ordered one of these, looks a great player for the money:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-SD270E-Multi-region-Capable-Progressive/dp/B000NY1E7Q/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1197685262&sr=8-2
    Plus I had a £10 Juicy Brains voucher so it only cost me £17.99 all in :money:
  • I am looking for a cheap DVD player. I don't really need any frills to it - just for playing standard DVDs. Would this Toshiba one by my best option from Amazon at £27.99 or are the v cheap ones at £17.99ish from Argos ok?
    Thanks

    For a quality brand DVD player with great reviews that Tosh is a bargain. Just depends on whether you'd rather save £10 or have a quality product. I did alot of looking around for similar quality players and couldn't find any that good for so little money.

    I would say I'd let you know what I think of it when I get it (next day or two) but it's a Chrimbo present for my girlfriend so won't get to try it out till Christmas :rolleyes:

    Do Amazon normally have a January sale?

    Well I've had time to try it out now and seems pretty good, no negatives so far :smiley:
  • Yeah, I'm also looking for a cheapo dvd player now. Thought the £10 player was a permanent thing, not just for 7 days, now I find out it's gone up by £7.50 at Argos (if you want a front-loading player).

    Anyone spotted any in the sales etc?
