over the past couple of weeks, I've been researching DVD players. I want to get a recently released machine, since the nth generation technology seems better. I've decided to purchase the new Philips DVD Q50, which is quite a nice player... they had a couple problems with the initial batch, but rang Philips NZ, and the players shippped here are the ones after the 2nd firmware release. Not many magazines/sites have reviewed it yet, since it's so new...

I was keen on a Sony 735D or 7700 but since they own movie companies, and restrict RCE movies on overseas players, I decided to boycott them :)
