would like to stay around $200 - want to play dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, dvd+rw, svcd etc.

read some bad comments regarding sony d300p here but see there is a d500p released now - anyone have any experience with this one?

same mixed results from searching samsung dvdv2000, zenith xbv342/343's cant find much info on panasonic nv vp30....

would appreciate any first hand reviews - thanks in advance!
