Need a new budget DVD/xvid player.
Seem to be various versions of the DK Digital range, such as DVD339,
DVD500 and DVD915.
There's also the Novatech offering for 43 inc vat

They all seem to do what I want, but I can't find reviews or comparison
of model features anywhere.
The DVD-500 looks OK to me:

and is available various places from 40-45. Any reasons not to go
for it?
Does it multi-region OK?
Thanks!
I have the DK915 player - very happy with it. It handles everything I've
thrown at it with a good RGB widescreen picture and proper 5.1 sound output.
However in common with any player using the Mediatek MT1389x chips (there
are many) it stutters when playing packed-bitstream avi's - no problem
though you just use Mpeg4Modifier (free download) to unpack the bitstream
before burning it to disk.
Personally I've never understood why anyone packs the bitstream when
encoding a file - it does not make the file smaller or improve the quality,
so knowing some players struggle with them why do it?
