Compgeeks.com just recently added the Genica Kalua DVD Player for $169 plus shipping (and tax if you are a California Resident). It plays DVD's, CD's, S/VCD's, and mp3's. I cannot confirm the quality of it, but I have read that it does all of these things better than the infamous "Apex" (that I know and love).
It also has been "reported" that this DVD player can be made region free and macrovision (copy protection) can be disabled. I hesitate to post how, as this forum has some strict rules. (If it's allowed, let me know and I'll gladly do so).
The player apparently uses the same components as DVD Players made by Lasonic. Yes, we in America usually associate Lasonic with extremely *cheap* electronics, but Lasonic DVD Players apparently have a very good reputation in Europe.
At any rate, ~$169 for a player with "these" features is a very good price. The DVD Player (believe it or not) also has 2 built in games (Tetris and Othello).

I believe we've determined that the Genica MP3 CD player is crap, but I think this DVD Player is clearly not really made by them, so I think this one is worth a shot!
Compgeeks also has a 10% coupon code right now if you use a Mastercard with the code. Of course, I can't post that here either.
Also, Compgeeks does not advertise or endorse that this is a "special" DVD Player, so I wouldn't mention it to them (as it will ruin it for the rest of us!).
