Hi,
Did you buy it as a brand new item? Also, could you kindly tell us the contact number. Very good price indeed.
Cheers

That`s a pretty good price there, Lee.
Sound & Vision are on 01204 861861, and they actually advertise in the back of Home Entertainment - I`ve heard that they can undercut other retailers too.

Yes it is brand new & boxed with 1 years g`tee (Forgot to say also plays RCE disc`s) I also rang the bolton No 01204 861861 (And I live in Southampton !). They asked me the best price that I had already got, OK I tried it on & told them £350, so they beat it by £10 & delivered it FOC
I will let you know if it turns up on time & whats its like etc..
I also asked sound & vision about their service, they told me any problems with the machine under waranty & they would pick it up same day from my house to get it sorted - gotta trust em now !!

I`ve seen the same player - region free at Techtronics for £297 incl . free delivery and free dvd - Charlies angels.
?? It`s available in Black - I`m not sure if yours is silver.

I wouldn`t get too upset Lee. The Techtronics price mentioned above excludes VAT, so when you put that in it comes to about £348, so you still got a pretty good bargain.
Moreover if comments on these forums are anything to go by, you`re best off avoiding any dealing with Techtronics (although I haven`t used them myself so can`t give a personal opinion). Let us know if Sound&Vision are a good seller and what the machine`s like.
