HI,
I've been swung by the brilliance of DVD, and have firmly decided to purchase a player, so instead of buying Resesvoir dogs, Clockwork Orange and many other greats on VHS, i have decided to wait untill i get my DVD, and get them for that, so can anybody recommend a good player, bearing in mind my budget is around £250.
thanks alot,
ROB

Easy.
If you want a manually selectable multiregion player get an LG 3350 or Aiwa 370 (both are the same apart from the designs and the LG has a DD decoder). Both are hackable from the handset. Both give better pictures than than all the big names bar Toshiba.
If you don't want imported discs then get a Toshiba SD100 - one of the best machines for picture and sound quality you can buy at ANY price. This can be chipped to be multiregion but you still can't manually select the region so a couple of problem discs (RCE encoded) like The Patriot and Hollow Man won't work (so you'd have to wait for the official releases). This seems to have been all but given up on so the Tosh is probably a safe bet now.
Have a read around the forums at www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk to back me up.
Hope this helps.

Forgot prices....
LG 3350 - £250
Aiwa 370 - £200 (stock is short though)
Tosh 100 - £200
All can be found cheaper on the net (no surprise there). The Tosh can be bought multiregion for £200 so if you got that then get a pre-chipped one just in case you chancge your mind.

SR put a new one on their UKDVD.com site the other day, I think its called the Phototrend or something. It's £190, multi-region and it says that it allows DVD back up to tape, which if that is what I think it is, is wicked! Have a look!
FANKS ALARR,
