Yes... again these will available in stores first come first served basis from Wednesday 5th February (next week)...

exactly the same product as sold prior to christmas... multi region hack available in `region hacks forum`...

i have personally seen these working, and they are exceptionally good value for money, as an introduction to dvd, or as a secondary player in the bedroom or for the kids!!!

I bought one of these before Xmas and it gave manifold probs with the info screen popping up unnannounced, when I took it back I was told I was one of many...

still, it is macrovision crackable and I replaced it with the Umax 5.1 setup from Ebuyer so what do I know...

i think you were very unlucky with this, problems can occur with any product, i bought a brand new car last january, it had to return to the main dealer within 2 months for a complete new fuel system to be fitted, and an ECU, would have cost in excess of £2500!!! good job it was new!

Torquay have 16 in stock...

I bought one of these when they first had them in november a nice
looking machine applied the hack everything works fine plays all region,
Vcd, Mp3 and can disable macrovision was able to copy my starwars
attack of clones to video so kids could watch it upstairs, the only problem i had was some times the picture became Black & White
and would flicker in and out of colour, so they have now got them back for sale and took it down for a refund works fine now, they have updated the player it now plays Kodak picture cd`s and jpegs and it can now show
jpeg pictures while playing Mp3`s

I bought one before Xmas. It had "ECC" on the box but I worked out that it was a "Provision" make. Incidently it played Region 1 and 2 straight out the box and has never given any problem.

I got mine in November for just over 50 quid, what a bargain. The hack works really well. Brilliant little machine for the money, would advise to turn off power though when not in use as it gets rather warm, other than that no problems, treat yourself.
