I did a few searches, and nothing came up with this.
Best Buy has a DVD/VCR combo for $69.99 after Mail In Rebate. I can't seem to find it on the Best Buy website, but they had a few in the store. My friend told me about it after she went in there.
The brand is Allegro. I've never heard of them, and can't even find a homepage for them.
It says it plays WMA files. It doesn't say anything about VCD support, but I'll hook it up and let you all know. But it says it plays mp3 files. It looks sorta cheaply made, but what do you expect.
$99.99
- 30 MIR
----------
$69.99 plus taxes.
EDIT: This might not be too hot. I knew it was el cheapo, but it gave me problems as soon as I powered it up. It was making this "crackling" sound coming from the inside. I attributed it to the fact that maybe it was just the first time warming up, or whatever. Then I threw Minority Report in there, and it wouldn't play, just locked up. I then thew Freejack (An older movie with pretty much NO special features on it), and it loaded fine. But at the menu, when I went to play the movie, it froze up. So either I got an el crapo machine, or these just all suck. I wouldn't think that a machine this crappy could really be sold, and I know it's a no-name. But either way, it's going back to Best Buy tomorrow.
Maybe other people will have better luck.
