i got one for the father last month... its a pretty good price, but im sure you would find it cheaper on amazon uk.

depends on the model. The 720p only model can be got for far less. theres the director 1080p that has been around for a while, last year it was about 120 euro A friend of a friend of a friend of a friends, cousin who knows this lad in the local shop---his uncle got it for 95.

EDIT , either way i wouldnt buy it. There are far better models out there.
Theres issues with playback also. Some formats a restricted to quality and also audio does not work with some encoding.

The asus range of media players (need own hard drive internal/external model dependant)are a bit pricier but have all the bells and whistles. The WD range is mainstream and reliable. Probably a similar arguement to having an iphone or a HTC Sensation!!

Why can people not understand the difference between a harddrive a media player

OP - Easons are doing a 1.5TB DaneElec Multimedia player for €99 at the moment I believe.

Aldi probably still have a media player rediuced from 89 to 49 euro. I got one and its a decent piece of kit. You store the movies on a hd or usb key or sd card or whatever , stick it into this box and it will read and play it.

very handy.

Have this iomega model myself and am happy with it, i Have it 1.5 years now and hasn't given any trouble it's main fault though is no mkv.. specially since i know have a HD TV (LG one from amazon highlighted to me by bargain alerts :-) ) so if I was getting a media player i'd prob go for something more future proof....

Yeah its a good price, and if its the mx ,it does play the mkv,mp3 and flv files that the old screenplays didnt play. i bought a 2tb on the iomega website,and its great if u look through the boards there is prob a discount code
