I have just got the MiCO Diamante 3000 from Sainsbury`s for £70 and it seems to be a cracking little player for the cash.
It is multi-region out of the box (but even if it isn`t there is a handset hack). With the version 1.1 firmware upgrade it plays VCD/SVCD discs without any problems, and plays MP3 disks and photo disks. I don`t care much about sound connectivity as I just connect via a scart to the TV, but it seems to have a ton of different audio connection options available at back of the machine. The remote control is a bit ropey, but does it`s job.
I`ll probably be getting another couple for the kid`s bedrooms.
