Use coupon code PA167 for $10 off plus free shipping.
you must add a small filler to go above $50. either add batteries or single dvd-r disc both are less than $2. This is the best price ive ever seen online for this player. This is in my opinion is one of the best picture quality divx dvd players available. it plays everything, even xivd files encoded with gmc or qpel(which the old Philips dvp-642 couldnt play). its got a bunch more features i havent tried out yet. Ive been using it for a few days now as a replacement for my old Philips and i love this thing. This seems to go oos pretty quickly(it was oos for like a month or two, it just recently came back in stock at Crutchfield). so i wouldnt wait to long to jump on this.

This indeed does seem to have better playback than the notorious DVP642. It uses Zoran Vaddis chipset ZR-36882 which is far superior to the DVP642 Vibrato set.
However it sadly also has alot of reports of problems with DVD+R playback. Can you confirm this?
How does the divx and xvid format compatibility of this compare to the Philips DVP5960 (which is $30 more)? I don't really care about the HDMI or upscaling on the Philips player, since I don't plan on getting an HDTV soon. The USB port on the DVP5960 is a nice bonus, but if the Toshiba can handle all the same files, I'd rather save $30.
vibe: havent noticed any problems with dvd+r playback, however both my burners have bitsetting. i have heard from a few reviews that this player is a little picky when it comes to media. ive been playing xvid files on Staplesdvd+r(CMC media code) and no problems.
RotJ: unless you plan in using the usb feature on the Philips DVP5960, get the Toshiba cause it'll handle all the same files. i would even bet the Toshiba has better picture too. cause the Philips dvp642 was awful picture quality.

Here are some negs about this player: Won't play files larger than 720x480 (this affects at least 19 files in my collection) .srt subtitles placed too high on the screen? (this affects about 30 of my files)
Hmm. I'm considering canceling this order.
edit: Vibe tells me "There is only one divx chipset in existance that can play higher than 720x480 and those players START at $200". I guess I'll wait for it to ship and see what the subtitles look like.
sunmountain said:Just my 2 cents. At the similar price or maybe $10 more, you get a DVD+DivX player from WalMart, which usually means better return or exchange policy.
Let me add my 2 cents here I would disagree WalMart's return/exchange policy is better. Well, I guess depends on your local WalMart. I have a few WalMart near me, one of them's lowly paid customer service refuse electronic product return after I bought a MP3 player from them that stopped working after a week or so. They told me I can't return to them, go deal with the manfacturer (which defeats the point buying locally).
Long story short, I drove to anothe WalMart, and they return/exchange for me. I heard similar stories on BB too..so it's not exclusive to WalMart only. But I just don't think WalMart's return/exchange policy is better because their policy can be as 'cheap' too.

Wal-Mart returns have gone pretty smoothly for me.
However, Crutchfield pays for your return shipping and there's no restocking fee if you ship everything back in the original packaging. So it's not any worse than Wal-Mart.
Ah I didn't know Crutchfield pays return shipping, that is pretty cool. I'll keep that in mind next time I buy elect. product.
I dunno if I want to jump on this deal, not because return policy, but I spent too much browsing deal forums and spend a little much already. I think I'll wait until next month, otherwise my CC statement is ahhhh not fun to look at...

edit: looks like the Philips have the 720x480 limitation as well
There is only one divx chipset in existance that can play higher than 720x480 and those players START at $200 Ah, thanks. I've never owned a DivX player, so I haven't done much research on this.
