I bought one of these at best buy last year for like $57. This is a MUCH hotter deal. There's a lot of talk on the review page of older vs newer version. The older version can be made region free, and macrovision free thats about the only differance I think. The one thing this is missing that is a front display, but who cares, it displays all info you need on the tv.
I went and checked the back of mine to see what connectors it has. It has S video out, RCA video out, RCA stereo sound outputs (can output to receiver to get dolby surround), RCA stereo In. It also has a Digital out (says coaxial, but it looks like spdif to me, its definately not the connection you use on cable TV). I'm pretty sure it has video in as well. In addition it has this thing that looks like svideo input but its called something weird like RF something. No optical sound out, but hey its $40.
According to the review it will also play PAL stuff, but outputs as NTSC. Dunno if that helps anyone, its not something I need but
