This evening, I picked up a pair of Cyber Home CH-500 DVD players -- one for me, one for a friend.

It plays US Region 1 DVDs out of the box.
With a one-time code twiddle, it plays ALL regions.
It CONVERTS PAL TO NTSC ON THE FLY -- no added hardware required to play PAL discs on NTSC TVs. Hello, EUROPE!
It plays VCDs, SVCDs and XVCDs.
It plays JPG photo CDs.
It plays CDRs, CDRWs, DVD-Rs, DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs and DVR+RWs.
It plays MP3 compilation CDs.
It plays MiniDVDs.
I'm having a hard time finding anything that it WON'T play.
It has S-Video, Component, RCA, Optical, Coaxial, Dolby 5.1 surround, and probably a couple of other forms of output I'm forgetting.
With a code twiddle on the remote control, it KILLS MACROVISION DEAD, so I can run it through the VCR and finally have a DVD player in my bedroom.

And it's <b>under a hundred bucks.</b>

"I am in LOVE" is an understatement.
