That is the oddest looking dvd player I have ever seen! :o I`m not sure that I would appreciate the top loading facility! But thanks for the tip, I am sure many will appreciate this. With a 3 year warranty it sounds like a bargin. :)

Bear in mind that it`s described as a "mini" DVD player so I would say it was designed to be portable so you can easily move it between rooms/houses...

Sounds quite good (but I agree - it does look odd). Can anyone confirm that it`s multiregion as well?

I bought one last time they came around and it had difficulties syncing lips with video on most MP4/DivX. When I took it back for I refund, I was informed that their policy was to send it back to get it checked and that THEY would be the ones to decide whether it was of merchantable quality! Eventually, I did get a refund (by cheque). The thing is, I don`t know whether this was a faulty unit or whether the particular files that I had happened to be encoded in a way that it had problems with. Watch these guys.
