Philips DVD Player

Danni

Don't know if this has been posted already but i think its a great bargain so thought i should post in case others will benefits!

Buy a Philips DVD player from Xtra-Vision for €79 euro & get €80 worth of rental vouchers free plus 800 points if you're joined pigsback. If you're not joined pigsback you only get €50 worth of rental vouchers. Seems like a great offer to me if somebody wanted a dvd player!

Offer ends 31st August by the way

Sounds good. Any limit on those vouchers e.g. weekdays only. Do they have an expiry date? Does that DVD player play DiVx?

There's another topic on this board regarding the Philips DVP630 which plays DiVX among other things and sounds like a nice device. The XTRAVISION offer is for the Philips dvp520 which I must check up on.

I'm not sure din)saur. It doesnt mention anything about it on the pigsback site. I'd suggest asking at your xtra-vision before purchasing. It would be CRAP if it was only mon-thurs vouchers or expiry date of 31 Aug!
