What`s the catch?

thats a "BARGAIN"

V. nice!

Appears to be a bit of a deal.

Sorry to put a damper on this but a closer look at the photo suggests the speaker system is more Computer oriented,
Although it may be O.K. in a small room or if you don`t push the levels too hard.
P.

I v`e been doing a bit of digging.

These seem to be the speakers

And this seems to be player

At this price its almost obscene no wonder Dixons` profits are going through the floor.

The only problem seems to be S-VHS rather than SCART connection

matchday

Assuming you have the right specs then the speaker ratings are only 7w RMS per channel but I guess it`d be OK for a bedroom or other small room.

Still - looks good for the price - you could easy pay that for the player alone so, in effect, the speakers are free!

If you read the ebuyer description closley, it does mention a scart,personally, I wouldnt care if it was a drainpipe at that price, anyway, I have ordered one and will let you know for sure next week

Also found a region hack (NOT tested yet!)

1) Press Eject to open Disc tray
2) Enter code `7777`
3) Press select repeatedly until `9` appears on screen
4) Validate by pressing `Play`

Your player should now be zone free

Only thing i am worried about is what if it broke down,who would fix it?
Heard some horror stories about ebuyer and returned goods
