koalamom Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 OK, I just seen at Wal-Mart that they are offering a portable DVD for $49.87 but Sears and K-Mart are offering one for $69.99. I have heard of the brand that both K-Mart and Sears are offering but not the one at Wal-Mart. My question is which one would you go for?
shannon91c Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Kmarts is a little bigger screen(7") and it is 69 after a rebate. Walmarts was a (6.4" i think)
tt600triumph01 Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Ace Hardware has one for $69.99 and you get a bonus with it. You will also get the carrying case and the charger, etc.
rae662000 Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I have this same question, and I think I will go with the Walmart item. But that Ace DVD is a great deal.
luvwdw Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 On another thread some said they didn't like the one from Wal-Mart last year. We got one for my daughter and she uses it almost daily and we haven't had a problem with it. If you do get this one, I highly recommend the kilt they have to go with it also.
amyers12345 Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 We bought one from WM, and I think I posted that on another thread. It worked alright, but it died last week. The screws that had worked loose were stripped out, and it could have only been manufactured that way. There were several posts on another thread, and it seemed that mine lasted the longest. I also agree with luvwdw in buying the kit. We didn't get one, and couldn't find a car adaptor to fit it. We ended up having to buy a power convertor.

Deal Grabber Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 OK, I just seen at Wal-Mart that they are offering a portable DVD for $49.87 but Sears and K-Mart are offering one for $69.99. I have heard of the brand that both K-Mart and Sears are offering but not the one at Wal-Mart. My question is which one would you go for?I bought walmarts dvd player last year (venturer)and i LOVE it.its $49.99 but for $9.99 more you also get the carrying case which comes with a car charger.Mine has been through the mill and still works great.Even been dropped a few times.Picture is great and sound is loud.The walmart this year is well worth the money.For a 6.4 screen its hugh.Trust me...
bayhaysay Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 We bought 2 of the venturer dvd players from walmart last year. One works great still and one quit working about a month ago.
theboyzmom Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I don't know anything about the ones being offered (haven't really paid attention to the ads), but I bought one on BF 2 years ago and it is still the BEST thing I've gotten in a LONG while! It's a Polaroid with a 7" screen. We've taken it in the car, on a plane, to dance practice, even use it when one kid wants to watch something and the others are gaming on the tv. NEVER had a problem with it, still works great...youngest is using it right now in fact. Easy to operate.
koalamom Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks for all your suggestions. I still don't know which one I am going to try and go for but I guess I will be deciding soon. I need two of them though.
ajforeveryoung Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Kohls has one for $49.99 after rebate. but if you spend $50 you get $10 off :)
lesley_az Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I bought he BB Insignia last yr and it is still running great!

heather2309 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 i don`t know if yor interested but i just put on lwy at my store a durabrand with remote charger and car charger with a 9 inch screen for $99 it was in there tab about 2 wks ago and our store still had some i think that a good deal
elena_398 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Wasn't Walmarts portable dvd player bigger last year? I wanted one, but I think I'll wait
koalamom Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 I noticed the one at Best buy also and that has the biggest screen so far. And the ad says it comes with the charger and such included. I think the one at Wal-Mart I would have to purchase that stuff seperately. But with the Best Buy one I would have to travel two hours to get it. I have a week to decide. This is so confusing!!!! But thanks again for all replys!!!!
koalamom Posted November 26, 2006 Author Posted November 26, 2006 I got the DVD player at ACE hardware. I did put two of the Wal-Mart ones in my cart as they opened at 5AM. Then my son waited there while I got in line at ACE. I was 7th in line and they had 50 players. But I was the first to get them as I was paying in cash and got to go to the head cashier. So I was in and out by 2 minutes after 7:00am. Then I radioed down to my son at Wal-Mart to put the other two back. SCORE!!!!!
jason Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Anyone get the one at Menards. It was a Curtis, and it is great. It was only $57 with no rebates. Was this even advertised?
