My friend's Cyberhome died recently, and he didn't even use it very much. The "Portland" brand player I got for $35 at Target a few months ago is still working fine though.
I got a player for $35 at Target last month from a brand called Portland, it also has a remote code for region-free and can properly convert 16x9 PAL discs for 4x3 TVs! It's got some cool audio effects too, like echo and pitch control (to make stuff sound sped up or slowed down!)
I have a cheapo Koss player (not region-hackable) that plays PAL discs, but not only does it not properly squeeze the 1 anamorphic title I have back to proper dimensions on a 4x3 TV, but it displays a strange frame-rate for anything shot on video. Is this player any better? I've heard most...
