to think you overspent by £2.26!!
Anyway - as long as it does the job.

Prices for DVD players are getting a bit silly these days.
But I think this offer may end soon.

I got it on the "offchance" that my PC would pack up while I was upgrading it.
Checkout lady said I had a month to return it if I changed my mind.
Sure enough, another new dud motherboard,meanwhile I am restricted to an old CPU which is very choppy playing videos
time to watch "the collective"

Most cheaper DVD players are usually region free out of the box.
Here is a link to a hack for the Cello DVD8105 model.
It may be of some use:-
