ilalynch Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Where is the cheapest place for a portable DVD player that you have found so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meo Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 depends -- are you looking for a single or double (for the car headrests)? For the latter, Walmart so far at $149.99 on BF...(thanks GD guys!!! Va to Oh is a long ride with two small ones!) As for single, what size are you looking for, as that will make a difference too anywhere from 6 -10" and as you know, size DOES matter....(gonna leave that one alone...

Brad Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Here's a tip: go to the BF site and in the upper right search for portable dvd player (or anything else you are looking for) It'll bring up these results: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/sales.php?searchwhat=blackfriday&searchquery=portable+dvd+player :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilalynch Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 I really am not caring about the size. I was going to get a Nintendo DS for my son but he has said he wants a DVD player for the car. I thought if I could get him a small one and hopefull get the SP that would be awesome.

ozziebandit Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 The Proton one at Sears: Save your money.I have one that I am returning to ABCwarehouse tomorrow ($99.99). It does have a case, however, very few of the accessories actually fit in the case. Just another excuse to lose some cables, the remote...I'm not even sure the battery fits in there! It's just cheap.

ozziebandit Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Was this the only thing you didn't like about this system? How was the picture and the sound? What about how it performed?There was no volume on the remote, only a dial on the side of the unit. It did have 3 different screen sizes (letterbox, and two others). If you select the one for regular size(TV) screen, the people were the right size, but it seems like the edges of the pic were then cropped to make it all fit. The pic wasn't all that great. (Wow, I guess I really didn't like it!). But for me, the biggest thing was how everything didn't fit in the bag. For it to be truly portable, ALL ATTACHMENTS must be in one place. It's hard enough to get my crew and associated stuff all in the van and get where we're going on time, I don't need the hassle of little ones saying "Mimi, where's the battery? the remote? do we have the cables to hook it to the screen in the van?" If you were going to just listen to it thru it's own speakers in the car, I think it wouldn't be loud enough. There is a set of headphones, but we can use the cables to hook it into the van's video set up, so for family listening, it would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
