Norcent DP300 DVD Player , Silver
Overseas and back...
I'm amazed at all of the bad reviews for the DP 300.  At first I was very sceptical due to the extremely low price.  When I did my research on the net about it, though, I discovered that it was popular among those who enjoy hacking DVD players (Macrovision, region hacks, etc.).  I didn't even have to hack mine in order to play my foreign DVD discs.  <br /> <br />Furthermore, I took this player with me to Russia for a year (going through X-ray machines on many occasions) and not only did it survive the spikes and surges over there (with no power bar!!!), but it's still going strong.  I've had it for about two years now.
