does anyone know anything of this site?

there are some good players on there, also do you think they are likely to be hackable?

I bought my little Next Base DVD player on ebay, new for just £74.
Excellent machine, ideal for the jam jar and hotel rooms - multi region from the box, PAL/NTSC and plays almost everything (eg DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+WR, DVD-WR, DVDA, MP3, CD, CDR, CDWR, VCD, SVCD, JPG)
Doesn`t have RGB though but does have S video output. Also optical output so you can hook up to DD & DTS amp for full 5.1 sound.
About the size of a `discman`
Bought mine from Audiovideoproducts who are based in Germany:

Unfortunately they`re not selling anything at the mo, but they`re worth checking out now and again to see what they`ve got in. You can also look in the feedback section and see the machine I`m talking about - they shifted quite a few

I`ve been looking for a DVD Player for a while now... just a cheap one... However, I did come across the Mustek Portable ones... they look so cool and I may afford myself the luxury of such a device at a much, much later date. I found the P205 for £205 at idealcomputing.co.uk. I`m currently considering a Ronin Drive from these guys, but trying to get some real life info first.
