RE: Need help choosing a DVD Player.

Sadly I don`t think they have one in the town I live (Wrexham, North Wales), and I`m not sure if I`m going to be able to find time to go into somewhere like Chester or Liverpool to hunt one down. :(

However, I`m off into town in a few minutes and I`m going to have a look in Curry`s and Comet. If I can`t find one there, I think I`ll go with the Phillips, as it doesn`t look that bad at all.

Also, regarding the Lidl surround system, it looks like a great price, but I don`t think I or my parents would be able to find the extra £60 to spare so close to Christmas, already bought a fair amount of stuff and still a decent amount of presents to buy for others. :p

Need help choosing a DVD Player.

Hi, I`ve decided on getting a DVD player for Christmas and need help choosing the right one.

Basically, I`m after one that will play DivX discs among most formats, able to make region free and quite cheap.

I`ve been into Asda and Tesco for a look, but could only see two decent looking ones;

Phillips DVP3005
Technika DVD105

Out of these two, which would you say is more suited? Also, are there any other fairly cheap DVD players in somewhere like Curry`s or Woolworths?

Does that Phillips DVP3005 feature DivX Playback do you know? I`m currently leaning towards that one, but if there are any others DVD Players that will play DivX and other formats, along with having a region free hack, feel free to mention them.

Thanks in advance. :)

RE: Need help deciding on a DVD Recorder.

So, out of the;
Technika DVDR 2005 DVD Recorder - DVDR2005
Daewoo DVD Recorder - DR-2100P

Would it be best to go with the Tecknika for the DivX support on top of the rest. Narrowed it down to those two.

RE: Need help deciding on a DVD Recorder.

£100, although a tenner more or so should be okay, I suppose.

Need help deciding on a DVD Recorder.

Hi all.

With Christmas coming up, I`ve decided to take up the opportunity to get a DVD Recorder. With me having other presents though, the parents have limited the price cost to £100, which seems fair in my opinion.

Anyway, I went into town an hour ago and had a look around for some DVD Recorders and came across three decent looking ones. So, if you could use your knowledge to help me decide on the DVD Recorders listed below, I`d appreciate it.

Goodmans DVD Recorder - GDVD300/301
Technika DVDR 2005 DVD Recorder - DVDR2005
Daewoo DVD Recorder - DR-2100P

Those are them. I`m quite illiterate when it comes to things like these, so I feel it best for your input. Also, I`m planning to play imports on it (mainly ones from America), so I suppose it`s neccessary for them to have a region free hack.

So, on terms of quality and everything else, what would you say is best for me?

Thanks a lot, look forward to the replies. :)
