Does anyone know if this thing is infact any good ? If not what is the best player out there (multi-region, 250 pounds) ? (not SCAN, I`ve read enough sh*t about that thing to never go near it)

At last the message is getting through!

If u can tell me what should make this player better then the Aiwa 370 (can`t speak for the co.). Then I will tell u if this "thing" as u call it, is infact any good.

Maybe it`s the two built in games, or the "new and improved" 7.01 version of macrovision??

If u want MP3, I`d recommend the Aiwa 370.
But since it`s hard to find and when u don`t really need the MP3 function, then I would go for a modified Pie&ear 535/530.
