a friend of mines got one and he likes it, especialy the ethernet connection as he just hooks it up to his pc and the kiss player converts it to pal 50 no probs, converting it to multi region however is another thing, the only way to do it is to remove the dvd drive from the machine and fit it into your pc then flash the firmware, tho i`m not sure if my friends is the same model (think it`s the 550, it also plays xvid)

if you look on ebay. we have a elta 8892. which is the same as the kiss without the ethernet connection, cost £160.00. is a good player of all files. you can update the firm ware from their web site, and it can be made all region. also you can turn the macrovision off.

big pockets have the kiss @ £149.99
