    Saw a Sony DVD player NS36 for €69 in Sony centre Dundrum at the weekend.

    Plays xvid - decent price.

    Is this the model?

    Doesnt say it plays DivX

    Yes I checked it online myself but it deffo says it on the box - saw it myself on Sunday in Dundrum.
    It must be a revised model.
    Would have bought it only I bought the Media player from Ibood last week.

    According to the overview/Feature link,
    " Playback of DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW and CD-R/-RW with DivX"

    On the technical specification page it doesn't say that. Looks like it does play it then

    No disrespect to the OP.

    Just some info for anyone who's thinking of rushing out to buy this player...

    This unit was the same price in Harvey Norman's before Xmas.

    It's being sold on amazon.co.uk for €75 (£52 stg) with average reviews.

    I'm off to naysay elsewhere now :p

    Well here's the link.

    Is that ok or are you unable to view shopping sites (like from work)? I don't want to unnecessarily clutter the thread.

    See I read this review and the only bad point was the colour of the remote so I was wondering were you got the bad review

    Amazing, 18 Jul 2006
    Reviewer: Symbiote (Bristol) - See all my reviews
    I have been looking around for a DVD /Divx player for a while now and I happened to stumble upon this puppy and I can't rate this enough. Plays all DVD's to a very high level to skipping or pausing. Plays all Divx files Hassle free. If you're looking to buy DVD /Divx player I highly recommend this.

    Only thing that I would say, its more cosmetic than anything, this that the DVD player is black but the remote that you get with it is beige, which they sort of clashed. Would have liked it the same colour. But neither the less it's a fantastic DVD player!

    I don't think it's that easy to get a Sony dvd player to be multi region.
    Worth noting.:)

    True, you usually need to rent a special "service remote" or a data disc to make them multi region.

    I notice Amazon sell these machines already modified, though of course they no longer ship electricals to Ireland :(

    Here are some Sony multi region hacks which might help:

    I've heard this before but is it actually correct? Why is it that amazon have a delivery rate chart, for Western Europe, that states:

    Electronics & Photo item (Republic of Ireland only) *Price*
    Electronics & Photo accessory (Republic of Ireland only) *Price *

    you can see for yourself, here.

    Yeah, their site is a bit contradictory.
    *** We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order by changing its quantity to 0 and clicking the update button below.

    That's what happens when I try and order one.
