Page 1 of Mico Celo 80 -- Any news, rumors, anything?

Just put in an order for one of these at multizonedvd on the strength of it being the supposed replacement for their flagship A980s, which is what I wanted to buy. But I haven`t been able to find anything out about it, which is a little disconcerting. Anybody got any info, links, etc? Have I just made a terrible mistake?

Dont buy anything with the Mico badge on! Cancel it if you can.
Mico`s, whatever their model, are essentially the same.

http://www.asia.globalsources.com/mico.co gives Mico`s latest players and no mention of the Celo 80. Assume its a rebadged pile of poo.

Look at this http://www.second-spin.com/acatalog/second_spin_uk__Cyber_Home_AD_L_528_Multiregion__82.html

At £109 (£99 till yesterday), It`s half the price of the 980S and can do everything the Mico can. With MP3 filenames and proper firnware support, Mico is finished. I`d love my Mico to pack up so I could buy two Cyberhomes!

The Cyberhome has the exact same C-Cube 3.0 chipset as all Micos and so is identical in terms of performance.

Mico has the worst reliability of any DVD player. Unbeatable had over 50% of their 980`s returned !!!

May Mico rot in hell.

CANCEL YOUR ORDER NOW!!! I hope its not too late.

If it is too late to cancel the order, return the Mico in a day or two (no longer) after it develops a fault ;-)

Possible Mico faults

1) Scratches (Crunches) discs
2) Shuttle knob fall off
3) Total system failure - I can tell you how to accomplish this (email me at riaperocim[at]ku.oc.oohay)


or all of the above ;-) DONT ACCEPT A REPLACEMENT !!!

You may have to pay return costs as MultiZoneDVD stipulate this on their terms and conditions, but consider it a valuable life-lesson.
Look around first and post your queries here before you order.

Mico Celo 80? cellotaped 980?

Well Done Carrot for telling the truth sir.

"Well Done Carrot for telling the truth sir.

Now its your turn, Duke! Confess away.

Actually my Mico is fine. Its just totally overpriced in todays market place. Hence my frustration and attempts to warn others.

Mico Rocked The World For Over A Year. Now RIP.

"Now its your turn, Duke! Confess away."

you dont recall me talking about ESS chipset pixellation on numerous occasion`s?

hey one thing carrot,

I have broadband now, whats best way to convert DIvx to VCD?

is it tmpgenc?

Broadband. LOL. I read about your pathetic 70k speed.

Corrr! Wow I`ve got 4 inches! :-O

Concerning DivX - There are now dedicated packages for conversion of DivX to VCD/SVCD but I`d use TMPGEnc if youve already got it,
as it would take forever for you to download one. :P.

Up The Wombles!!!

It`s not your fault u only have 4 inches carrot, its what you do with it that counts.

also what connection at home of you got and what at work?

I think I gotcha there sonny.
