Magnavox DWM-200F at Walmart. Goes for about $34 and has a decent picture.
Error correction ain't bad either. It plays discs that cause other players
to literally freeze up.

If it does crap out after a year, you're only out $34 plus tax.

I like mine and plan to get one as a Christmas gift for my mother.

Good luck,
