All region/Pal DVD player $199 + 7 quality DVD's on YesAsia.com (1 Viewer)

This looks like a great deal http://us.yesasia.com/en/prdDept.asp...9385&aid=11966 and a great movie pack it comes w/!
My question, is this a reliable player? I am not concerned about progressive scan, DVD-Audio, etc.
Just reliable and hicup free playback.

I don't think it converts Pal to NTSC like Malata does, you better stick with that, they're about $240 and are universally hailed as the Holy Grail players of the world.

Anyone else familiar w/this unit?

My friend own a Shinsonic Multi Region with multi system output PAL/NTSC (no conversion). The picture quality is par to what you can expect from a $100 player

Besides, I don't believe for a moment that the 7 DVDs they ship the unit with are legit.

BTW, they just upped their package value.

Now the $199 package includes:

TEN movies and a microphone.

See here, their cost of 10 movies: US$100, cost of el-cheapo mic US$10. That leaves them with US$90 for the DVD player, and they still have to make a profit of say $10. That means the player is US$80, which is exactly the same price of an el-crapola Apex (low-end ones).

Skip this, get the Malata 520 (?). It does a great job converting PAL to NTSC.
