I saw this at Harvey Norman, Preston, VIC store. Pretty sure this will be Australia-wide.

Honestly any cheap dvd player will do nowadays. If this was a blu-ray player at this price, it'd be a different story. No bargain here.
Not true. There's still a big difference between DVD players. The cheapest ones like these only have composite output, which is worse than you'd find on a DVD player from 15 years ago. Composite is the same video output that VCRs have. If you pay more you get component or HDMI both of which are vastly superior.
That may have been an issue a few years ago but to be fair, I think you'd be hard pressed to find any DVD player these days that doesn't at least have component, let alone HDMI.
This one has neither
@majord: We'll I'll be damned… Sorry, I'm feeling a bit silly now :s
I'm just gobsmacked that companies are still producing DVD players without HDMI… :s
HDMI is rather pointless for DVD due to it's low resolution and interlaced video - component (not composite) is more than good enough. Where it comes in handy is if you're watching HD video from a USB stick.
Not another one! At least this one has a USB port. Still no bargain
Same price at The Good Guys
Compisite video out and 2 channel stereo analogue audio only. Cheaper DVD players like this normally don't have HDMI and/or digital audio out.
This is very expensive for what it is.
Composite video out only!
I wouldn't even call this one a bargain at $10, let alone $39.
Isn't this the standard price for a DVD player these days?.
rohitroygre, did you not learn anything from the response to your recent Sony DVD post? And that one was much cheaper!
Basic DVD players like this are $20-odd. But composite-out tends to look awful on modern TVs. You need component, VGA, or hdmi.
HN has a nice one for $57 , but I expect they sell very few, when a cheap base-model blu-ray player will have the same features and more.
Same price on their website
