Have one if these for the nipper. Serious steal at that price. Plays most file formats from sd and Usb. Great for car journeys with a 16gb card loaded with his favourite Dvd rips.

Soarer

Seconded.

Bought one last year for holidays, and it was a godsend. Was able to bring it as carry-on, so we had quiet flights!
Carrying everything on a USB as opposed to dozens of discs is worth the purchase price alone!

It's coming away with us again this year, no mistake!:D

Good catch, gotta have one for the little un

Thanks Zerks, I was looking at these a while back and thought they were good value at €59. Could not resist when I heard they were reduced so picked on up today.:)

red face dave

Cheers. Must go in tomorrow and get one.

Thanks, got one of these today. We'll be heading on a long haul flight in May and was wondering if someone could help explain how to put the kids DVDs onto a USB. It would be great not to have to bring a multitude of DVDs with us. Sorry if this isnt the place for this but I haven't a clue how to even start :eek: Thanks again for the BA.

Got one from Aldi on longmile road, can't fault it so far, plays avi's etc off sd and usb no problem. Seems to be a great little we equipped player with 3 year warranty for 40 quid!

Does that car pouch in the pic above come with it?

Soarer

Yup.

TheChevron

Good deal for the car so.

Anyone know if they still have these in Carlow? Will be making a trip in there tomorrow so, 7 inch divx player for 40quid is really good

shivers27

What is the battery life on it ?

red face dave

None in Portlaoise. Might try Carlow tomorrow

flanzer

Got the display model from Aldi in Santry, none left. Thanks OP

tweety76

Am wondering what the battery life is on these also? & do they take DVD RW?

Non in either Carlow stores. Looks like most areas are sold out

Vague, but....it's 2.5-3 hrs for a Disc (Spinning) and more for USB or SD, not sure how much, but it's pretty decent. There's a car charger too, which doesn't come with a lot of the brand names.

Picked one up in Ballinasloe today, having been looking for one for a bit so thanks OP. Manager said he has about 12 left too

There was one in the perspex display box in Blackpool Cork today.

BTW: it's always worth asking at the checkout if there are none of the electronic devices left on display - quite often there is stuff in the office if you ask.

mik_da_man

Cheers - picked that one up.
Was looking for two but it was all they had.
Checked a few other stores and I'd say there's none left in Cork....

One manager said he expected them back in again in a while....

Thanks all picked one up in Aldi Drogheda ( Mell) yesterday still seemed to be a few left. The other Drogheda store is sold out.

deckie27

the batteries in these fade and fail very quickly. I have one over a year and the battery will not hold any charge.
I'm waiting on replacement batteries from my favorite Chinese supplier.
In saying that I bought another when they were out last November which I use as a house Dvd - media player

mik_da_man

3 year warranty?
I've always found their warranty service brilliant.

Surely in this day and age you are better off ripping your DVDs for phone/tablet/itouch?

My experience with these DVD players is that the screen resolution is terrible..

Pretty sure kids aren't going to mind, which seems to be the target audience from most of the posts above. Also, broken €40 device > broken phone/tablet.

Dozen Wicked Words

Sorry to bring up an old thread but what format do films need to be in for sd/usb reader. I have a couple of films in MP4 format, picture perfect just no sound, bit frustrating! Still a great DVD player even if I cant get the card functionality working for me. Worth every cent.

Why download from there, seriously..? The software needs to be downloaded through a vague software 'handler', which also installs a web browser toolbar as an added 'bonus'.

Avoid.
