... so what do you wnat me to buy?

No expert, just don't trust sales droids, so I'm forced to do my own research

Honestly, if you're going to use your telly for sound and basic composite video for video, then a strathfield-priced player will do everything you want. CD/CD-R/SVCD/DVD/mp3s and region free at a low price. Like rev said, the mpeg chipset and board these players use (mostly zoran?) are off the shelf, so theres not much design for them to screw up.

If you're more of a name brand type person (safe way to go), then low end Panasonic and Pioneers would be my pick. Panasonic may not play mp3s but both should be region free (ask the salesman and bring a test disc just in case). Price for them should be similar ~$350. If you have a Myer or DJ shareholder card, ask them to price match and use the card. Otherwise, break the balls of a local retravision or hardley normal sales droid for a good price.

[Gradenko]

Micko, you're right. I stand corrected. Still wouldn't pay for a Sony though, gives me that "unclean" feeling. Like using Microsoft or looking at Bush's face
