My dad is going to be in hospital for a week and i want to get him one of those cheapo (~$200) portable DVD players. There are heaps on Ebay for around that price but NFI if they are ne good or not.
Any one got one of these off ebay and got some feedback for me?
Cheers!

you can get them real cheap at Strathfield, and then you get to actually see the quality (crapness???) before you buy.
http://www.strathfield.com.au/Products.asp?CatID=119start from $149!
[dodgy way] otherwise, DickSmith have a 14 day money back guarantee period, no questions asked. one could purchase one from DSE and then return it after 2 weeks (if you keep all the packaging and the unit is in A1 condition)

[/dodgy way]
who said ^^^ that???

buy one from k-mart, keep ya box and receipt and theyll probly let you have it for 2 months!!!
pull out the old excuse of "it was a gift for someone, but i changed it for something else"
Went out to Target and K-mart last night and they both have the for around $200 for a 7" screen. Aparently they have them a JB Hifi too, so might call in and see if i can try before i buy

Bit concerned about the 'crapiness' of the screens.
