The 35 quid extra for Amazon's customer service and lack of racism would be the bargain here...

The Overclockers player won't play Bollywood discs.

:lol:sounds like a blessing in disguise to me.bloody good price for a next gen dvd player either way .

[saltysam]

this is a steal for a great machine.paid £450 for this from Toshiba last christmas.plays region 2 dvds great as well.

[Spectre07]

How well does it play Region 1 DVD's?

[S1LVERBACK]

i dont think any hd player is multi egion capable for sd material so the region you buy it from is the region your sd dvds must come from.

Next generation? I though this has just been discontinued to make way for the next, next generation player.:thinking:

I noticed blockbuster are starting to stock blu-ray discs for rent now, didn't see any HD discs though, is this a sign of which format is going to be the winner

[UkMark]

Blockbuster.co.uk stock both HD-DVD (117 titles) and blu-ray (151 titles) so this does not give any indication which format is going to win.

It's well known that the bosses of overclockers have some pretty foul views...
