Does anyone have any info about this incredibly cheap player? A personal review or just a link would be welcomed.

Bloke at work is considering one, and if it's any good I might get one for the bedroom.

Anyone know much about it?

Cheers,

Scratch that! Just seen a few points about it at the DVD Forums and it's not too rosy. Everyone recommends the Cyber Home for a tenner more. I seem to remember this being reviewed very recently in HCC but it's not yet on the web site.

Anyone tell me what they thought of it?

Cheers,

I had one, the features are very good for the price, all region, plays mp3's cd-r's and cd-rw's, rce discs....but I had trouble with them and so have a few others. Apparently a batch were water damaged during transport which causes them to skip audio cd's and normal dvd's, this it did on 2 players until I took it back and paid a bit extra for a different brand. Also analogue audio is a bit pants. So in a nutshell a great bargain if it works properly and doesnt skip.
