my first deal, so flame away if you wish...
Just dropped by the Sears in Pasadena, CA (91125) today, and guess what I saw?
The Apex AD-3201 dvd player, marked down from 119.99 to only $78!
the tag said it was good til 4-20 I think, so you still have a couple of days
to get in on the deal.
not sure if its a local thing or not, but hey its worth a try, considering
Compusa is sold out of these (plus they're return policy sucks anyway).
this apex plays just about everything: dvd, vcd, svcd, mp3, cd-r, cd-rws......
plus you can turn off macrovision and make it region free, and even
update the firmware (for both the dvd drive and the mobo) via burning
an update onto a cd-r!
for comparision, I also tried the apex ad-1200 ($65 at CC), and ad-1500 ($99 at kmart).
the price for 1200 cant be beat, but theres no LCD panel, and it doesnt play svcds
all that well.
the 1500 adds an lcd, but its too pricey.
both are smaller in size, so its kinda hard to stack on top of your
other components (the 3201 is full size, and looks nicer)
personally, i think the 3201 is a great deal!
hope this helps people who are looking for a cheap but very functional dvd player.
