    Does it have a screen ? It doesn't say much about it on that flyer (not that it would). Sony used to market the Picot as a "portable dvd player" even though it hadn't a creen - for them it was a player that you could move around...

    I actually never thought about that.... but i doubt it!

    Most of the ones that have screens are up on E300 - can't see Dunnes giving them away this cheap if they had a screen!

    They'll probably still sell pretty quick though!

    True.
    Definition of "Portable" please Dunnes?
    It's just a DVD Player that you can move around (should you want to).
    Not one you can play DVD'S in your car, mobile etc unless you can attach it to a screen/TV etc!

    Cheers for the info all!

    Updated my post to reflect this new information!

    Should have assumed it had no screen - for E60, it was too good to be true!

    Well Lidl did have a portable last year which hadn't a screen either so Dunnes aren't stretching the word at all.. I sent herself in for a look and it was the last one there - hadn't really expected a screen so I wasn't too disappointed..
