Philips DivX Progressive-Scan DVD Player - did anyone get it from Amazon yet?

[Psyber]

Did anyone that ordered it, get their Philips DivX Progressive-Scan DVD Player from Amazon yet? I ordered it June 18th and still haven't gotten it yet - I think they may have forgotten about me. I don't really need it right this second since I already have a DVD player, but I was really looking forward to getting it. I could cancel it and pay a little bit more and get it at Best Buy or Target, but I'm too cheap.

Anyone else order close to when I did and get theirs?

I ordered mine on August 23rd and it was shipped on the 24th and should be here in a couple of days

No, but I got mine from Walmart. Of course I'm not a cheapass.

You're kidding right...? I feel utterly gyped if that's true...

walmart + target + circuit city b&m all have it

 

[Psyber]

yeah I know, since it is a want rather than a need, I didn't really want to pay $5 + tax more for it. I just think 3 months of a wait is crazy.

I think they may have forgot about me - anyone that has ordered after me could you let me know if you recieved it?

We need more reviews of it. Does it play back subbed animes just fine and all that?

I've read that as long as you have the latest firmware it does. But I can't confirm, as I don't have any anime.

do you just burn divx as regular files and pop it in the player ?

bump because im interested in how to do this also

 

[Narse]

Me too, I may have to get one if thats all you have to do

 

[spidey]

Yep, just burn a disc with the files, the player displays a menu with the titles, you pick one.

 

[Narse]

Thats is sweet, I must have one!!!

Is it CONFIRMED dual-layer DVD+R compatible? If so, I think I will have to buy one so I can burn all these TV episodes sitting on my hard drive and watch 'em on the widescreen!

just got it from walmart ($69.84) and I love it. Watching top gear episodes on my TV now and they look better on the TV then on the computer monitor.
