I picked one up today for a family member, I was slightly concerned after reading of noisy drives on the forum but I got it home and it seems quiet, so it looks as if that problem has been rectified. Multiregioned no problems and plays all disks fine including cdr / cdrw vcd`s very impressive, but I cant help thinking its overpriced, had a black player not been requested im sure I could have got a better player for less in silver.
Still gets a thumbs up from me :)
