Looking for a DivX player, new to this

[MJA]

amazon US is the same .they pay for shipping if you return it with in 30 days

If something was to go wrong its most likey to be after 30 days

As a Brit living in Canada, it is nice to see the "if something goes wrong " attitude prevailing there still.

Where in the UK are you, ?

$60 DVD players are disposable. When it breaks throw it away and get a new one.

If you happen to be going to China, Wal-mart China has a big selection of DVD players that all have USB jack for movies/pictures/audio etc. They have a house brand one for $20 US (see screenshot) that runs on 110/220 volts and works well for avi movies on the USB. However, it would not display srt subtitles off the USB. Models costing $30 and up would display srt subtitles off the USB. I haven't found any cheap DVD players that display sub/idx subtitles off the USB.

£65.00 = $112.603 = quite a bit of money for me

I guess you always get ripped off on electronics in the UK. Do you have to pay VAT on top of that? They sell for less than $55 here:

The Philips DVP3260 is a nice alternative. Divx-certified, USB 2.0

Just phoned a load of stores and no one has it or ever ever did have it, I emailed philips and all they did was give me the link to the philips page and said click buy to see available stores which I know only comes up with Amazon
I phoned them and they just gave a few shop names that could have it but they didnt.

I might have to give up on it

YES!!! finally got there.... sort of

Philips provided me with a number to Dutchwest, there mail order company.
http://www.dutchwest.co.uk/acatalog/philips-DVP5990-divx-dvd-player-with-1080p-upscaling.html

I know its not exactly over the counter but its trustworthy and has a 12 month warranty
I phoned them up and they expect a delivery any day now because its out off stock at the moment.

The only downside is that its £77 inc delivery


btw I noticed the u.s version is a 5990/37 and I think this one will be a 5990/05, will it be easy to make multi-region?
