Just picked up one of these sweet new dvd players last night at Walmart for $69. This thing will play anything you can throw at it. It's awesome having a standalone DivX player. I've been wanting one of those Kiss dvd players for a long time. It's about time someone made one of these available to the masses in the US.

Whoa!... my friend had a DVD player with the same/similar features but he olny piad $40 (APEX i think)... but ima have 2 pick one of these up.
The Apex players you're probably thinking about will play VCD, but not DivX and xvid. That's what makes this one so great. Especially for the price.Originally Posted by MusikBeatz23
You don't even have to make it like a video cd or anything. Just write the divx file to cd and it will play.
This player is awesome. I just burned 13 divx movies onto a dvd..it played them all......this is GREAT.

god, i wish i had money :)
Alright ive heard enough I'm getting one of these tomorow. This is gonna be my 5th dvd player.
Im getting me one of these tomorrow!!
I am going to walmart tomorrow, I will check them out if they have them. It plays Xvid even! Wow. I have many fiaz eps all in high quality xvid format, it would be bitchin to be able to play these on tv without reencoding them!
If this can be made region-free, macro-free, and no-skipping-previews free, then it will be the perfect dvd player....

Can this play omg files? Web site only specifies divx/xvid and mp3, not ogg.
(please say yes, please say yes......).

This will be awesome! The Apex player only plays mpg no avi files as said. I'm ready to get one for my 700 divx movies! Although my computer is already hooked up to my TV, now ill be able to do crap on my computer while I watch all the stuff I haven't got around to watching yet.
Hard as ever and here to make you people believe...as long as there is one person to hold hope and dream...A GOD...will never die!
