Cheapest DivX/XVid standalone DVD player

Not bothered about any other features, as long as it does DivX/XVid.

Best UK price?

Cheers

I don't think you'll get better than this for the money.

It's Toshiba too! You could probably get another one a few pounds cheaper but is it worth it?

A few people who bought it said:

Re: Cheapest DivX/XVid standalone DVD player

Thats the problem with DIVX players. I have seen a few and the cheap ones never play them very well. I bought a DK DIVX a couple of years ago and that seemed to result in a juddery picture which ended up in me converting then to DVD and playing on a standard DVD player.

I now have a Denon DVD1940 which is the first player to actually play them well but at £170 it is a lot more expensive.
