This DVD player is on clearence at some Walmarts. It was originally $138.xx, and some stores may still have it at that price. What makes this such a hot deal is not only the price, but the player itself. It is about half the width of a "normal" DVD player, and it is a SLOT loader. It comes with a bracket that allows it to set in a horizontal or vertical position, and it is capable of running off of 12V DC. It is loaded with features, component output, optical & coaxial output, S-Video output, discrete 5.1 audio outputs. It is capable of PAL or NTSC output, features 4x zoom, camera angle control and has one of the most comprehensive remotes I have seen. It plays cd's, cd-r, cdrw,dvd,mp3,svcd,vcd and sacd(cd layer only). Again, YMMV

P.S. This unit is supposed to be hackable via remote to make it region free.

A friend of mine bought one of these and he was surprised to find that he didn't need a Macrovision stripper to get proper video out of it. Unfortunately, he had already bought one. No hacking or anything required, though.

i bought this same unit from target and returned it. it is a nice unit but it locks up during play. i visited targets web site and saw customers who had the same experience. this may be the reason for the price reduction. beware!!!:(

VCD help DVD compatability list

I just bought this a few weeks ago (I wonder if I can price match it down) And so far it seems like a great little unit, very cool looking, and plays a wide range of formats. I'm happy with mine that I paid $149 for.

Where are you guys finding this? I called both of the stores in my area and they hadn't even heard of it. I really would like to get a standalone DVD player.

Sorry, I forgot about posting this. I bought the dvd In Columbia, TN and have seenit at the super walmart in Murfreesboro TN. Other than those two locations, I don't know about availability. There are so many bar codes and numbers on the box, I am not sure which one Walmart uses as a stock number. The dimensions are 9" wide X 2.2" thick X 11.7" deep.

Not sure about that this one. There are only a few reviews on vcdhelp.com and I have found that some people review units and have no clue what all the types of vcd there are.
