OT: Cheap DVD Players?
I want to get my mom a cheap, BASIC DVD player for X-mas. What is the cheapest/simplest one out there?

We got one at Target for $29.99 over the weekend, but that was the bid post-Thanksgiving sale so notsure what the normal price is.
Just checked Wal-Mart's site and they have one for $38.76

I would spend the extra $20.00 and get a DVD-VHS combo unit myself.

How important is it that a standard TV DVD player play VCDs?
I ask because I was sent a DVD that would not play on my cars DVD player, but would play on my computer and my home DVD Player. Last edited by WrongWay : 11-28-2005 at 06:04 PM. |

Actually, the cheaper it is, the more likely it is to play any type of disc/format. |

When I worked at best buy (2003-2005) the cheapest DVD player was always the Cyberhome. I will warn you that you definitely get what you pay for. It is a piece of shit that was returned more than anything else in the store.

My first Cyberhome just burned out after about 2.5 years of use. It claimed that every disc that I had was a bad disc. The $40 Walmart Sanyo is working very well now (although it doesn't pick up where I stopped, I have to go back to the title menu each time I start it back up).
