I shop at EZYDVD (note the .au), probably my favourite shop for dvds. In a day or so, I'll be getting a deal from them for $100AUD. You basically buy $100 worth of dvds ($75.30USD, $84.07CAD) from a selection, and get a free dvd player...the selection is some new, some old, nothing brand new, but enough quality titles to make it a good deal. The player is naturally a shithouse brand, but since a remote control mishap has left my last dvd player more or less useless, I'll take the deal.
But yeah, good shop, and if there's anything they don't have, they'll generally get/import it for you too. Just thought it was interesting that you came across it too.

i can say without hesitation ... yes..

i'll never say this about any other product but :

these cheap ass players are the best for hacking and making region free pal/ntsc breaking the copyguard ..etc

i have a lot of players but my favorite workhorse is still my old apex.
