I wouldn't mind making the jump from my jvc dvd player to one that plays divx. Is the yamaha dvds550 worth the extra cash or is it just a re-branded version of the phillips dvp642? I notice they both have the exact same remote control, but the back inputs are slightly different.

So far all I can find on this yamaha player is from the Uk.

I have no problem spending the extra cash to get a better product.
reg the 642 is $120cdn or $90us (could wait and hope it comes onsale again for $80cdn) or the yamaha is onsale for $200cdn with the regular price of $230cdn or $150us

As you can probably guess from the price listings, I 'm in Canada.
