Page 1 of Pioneer DV-444-S Thinking of buying one?

Whats the machine like? is it worth the money?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

A superb machine. Fully multiregion etc via a firmware update rather than a hardware chip.

The cheapest ive seen it is £199 http://www.krishav.co.uk/
I unfortunately bought mine locally for £219.95.

HTH

I also purchased this player and am very pleased with it. Definatley worth £200. as mentioned in the previous post. I payed top dollar for mine, would have loved to pay that money it.

Altho I spent £219 also on the pioneer i am exceedingly happy with it, I bought mine from www.avland.com. The picture is the brilliant it has trusurround, I think thats the bit that makes it sound like it is playing in surround sound but out of stereo speakers...Very nice...tho i havent had a chance to test it as i only have a mono tv at uni. But i think for either price it is a bargain buy. It outputs in RGB and Pal60 I mean you are good to go what ever kind of tv you have really, which makes it better than the sony machines as the only do ntsc to ntsc, which if you ask me is a pain in the ass. If not a cunning marketing ploy, but i digress, the machne is good, wait better than that...but i have rambled enough, hope you make the right decision, its hard aint it? I went thru this last week, before settling on the new love of my life...lol.

My recomendation is to do a search for firm ware patches for the player.
