Question:
Can you good knowledgable folks point me in the direction of the best cheap (£80 or lower) player that's around at the moment? I'm happy as long as it's multiregion (either out of the box or with a simple remote mod) and perhaps plays MP3s.

try tesco for the dansai its selling for £79 and if you know a member of staff they could get 10% off for you
Dansai 1010 is now £69 at Tesco.
Alba 108 is £69 at Argos.
The Alba is multiregion out of the box, the Dansai has a simple do-once hack.
Both play MP3. You can't go wrong at this price and the beauty of buying from Argos or Tesco is easy returns if you have any problems.
Has the Dansai 1010 got VCD/ SVCD playback disabled?
Reading through some other threads I see that some people have a very low opinion of the Dansai so I think I will probably go for the Alba.

It depends on which firmware version is installed on it.
If its the version with VCD disabled , simply phone up the Tesco helpline and they send out the disc to change the firmware to re-enable VCD/SVCD playback for free. you can't say fairer than that ;)
The Alba has VCD playback disabled. You can get them to play by repeatedly pressing 1 or goto when the disc is loading (this hardly inspires confidence in the player's software - but it works).
