RE: M5 whats the score?

Hi
I purchased an M5 last Wednesday...

..and took it back the following day.

My first impressions of the machine were good. It looked great and a lot better than the 750 that I also have. Once set up and switched on you are greeted by a colourfull wharfedale logo. The menus are much better than the 750. The region hack was easy to put in and worked fine on Fight Club R1.
The first problem I noticed was a slight jerkiness in the film. There seemed to be a slight split second pause every few seconds on fast moving scenes.
The picture quality was also not as good as the 750 and seemed a bit `grainy`.
I was impressed by the mp3 playback, but not the 8 character filename limit.
The next problem was that the machine `crashed` and the screen went all pixelated and started flashing. I thought this was the screensaver at first, but the machine failed to respond and I had to switch it off and back on again.
This happened a couple more times and on the third occassion it failed to switch back on and was completely dead.
I took it back to Tesco to exchange it. On arrival there were 2 other people returning players at the same time. I therefore decided to get a refund.

I will wait and see what other people think about it before buying another one.
