Philips DVD755VR DVD player/VCR on Marshall Ward site for only £99.99 and delivery of £2.99

6 Heads, Nicam, VideoPlus, NTSC playback.DVD features: Playback DVD/DVD-R/VCR/CD/CR-R/CD-RW and MP3 encoded discs. Dolby digital/digital out.

Has to be a mistake but I know someone who has ordered and taken delivery. Showing as instock at time of posting.

Please lets not have the usual rash of "I`m going to sue them" type postings when they finally spot it!

Cheers

Tempting but there doesn`t seem to be a region hack that works (apparently the 750 hack doesn`t work) - still a great price though.

Good spot!
I`ve been after a bargain VCR/DVD for ages, but am a bit hesitant from that last post that says it isn`t hackable - multiregion is vital for me.

Do others know of any such offers on VCR/DVD combis?

Cheers!

Excellent spot, cheers - been thinking about getting one of these to replace my VCR which is on it`s last legs. Not too bothered about multiregion but if it is hackable all the better. Ordered one 5 mins ago and just received confirmation - let`s see whether it arrives or not....

Aint a bad deal at all, this model was in my local ex catalouge shop for around £150, goto be worth a punt @ just over a ton.

Looks like this model can be chipped for the regions but no macro off but what the hell :D

Good spot Braindead!!!

Just checked the status of my order and it says it`s dispatched.... but it also says (on the `My Orders` page) that it is £79.99!!! I hope so. My credit card hasn`t been charged yet so I will wait and see!

** UPDATE ** I`ve just checked My Account on their website and it says they received payment on the 28/8/03 of £82.98. So it could be true - though no sign of it on my credit card bill yet. Maybe it will end up being free!

Are you sure there`s no region hack for this machine?

This thread seems to mention such a hack, but can`t seem to find it on the hack page here...

Any ideas?

Sod it, ordered one anyway - who can complain at that price. Whether it`s genuine or not, it won`t be around for long.

Got a confirmation e-mail straight away - but mine was £103... :/
How come yours was only £83 ???? Spawny get.
