My Coles at Reservoir VIC had a whole shelf of these. They are promoted as "2 Channel" DVD players.

No mention is made of being multi-zone.

I do not know the output (not listed on box), but I believe it to be RCA (red, yellow, white) analogue connectors.

It's $14.50, for heaven's sake.

Normal price over the past weeks/months has been $29 each, so I presume this is clearance of an old model.

I did take a photo, but cannot get it off my camera at the moment, sorry.

I know this is cheap and nasty, but for those interested in cheap and nasty, it is the cheapest price I have EVER seen for a DVD player with plentiful supply.

PS - off you go now, before Broden flies down and bags them all !!

PPS - (I'm joking)

    I was tempted to buy and resell enough of these things so I could afford to fly to Canberra and buy lots of cheap Pepsi Max cans !!

    • issh on 20/02/2011 - 14:34

      Good price

      too bad i have no need for them :(

  • morpheu on 20/02/2011 - 14:45

    damn……how much are the raw materials worth, $5? the warranty service alone would set them back a pretty penny!
    next, Coles will buyout the Nutec company and sell "Select" dvd players! haha!

    • bargain101 on 20/02/2011 - 14:51

      "Select" is the Woolworths house brand, not Coles.

      Anyway, cheapest DVD player ever.

  • bendertiger on 20/02/2011 - 14:55

    GTFO…of the house and go buy one :P I don't need one but figure it might make a good present for someone.

    I'm definately hitting up Coles now :) That's going to be a + from me

        Scary times when I was tidying up the other day, and found a receipt for a 512MB compact flash card for $260 !! (and, being the tight arse I was/still am, that was actually good value then !!)

          Yeah, I must have bought mine a few months later than you when it cost me $180. Still that was cheaper than a bagful of slide film and processing for my next holiday. Now they are almost giving away flash keys with cornflakes.

          I can remember paying $110 for a 4GB card…or my first digital camera (which was stolen)…cost more in batteries than it would of buying film and processing for my slightly older camera!

          Luxury! Back in my day we had a 3 hour walk each way across broken bottles in bare feet, in the snow, on a 45 degree day just to get to the store to pay $65 per Meg of RAM!

          That's what my Dad paid for our 386 to go from 4MB to 8MB of Ram. My friend had 16MB and Kings Quest crashed because it couldn't handle that much memory. I'm 32 now, this was when I was in High School, say 1990.

          I paid $129 for 512Kb (yes, kilobytes) of RAM and thought that was a bargain. Do I win a prize? :-)

          wow 512Kb of RAM, for $129

    Positive for your write up - cheap and nasty description + Broden gag. :D

    This DVD player will be guaranteed to work………for at least one movie. Cheaper than the cinema!

  • Windows7forever on 20/02/2011 - 15:39

    Hell, it's got warranty, so if something goes wrong…
    I paid $800 for my own first DVD player almost 10 years ago. The movies cost about more than the hardware now!

    How many DVD players do you peeps have in your households now?
    I got 5 standalone players(one fore each TV essentially), not counting my video game consoles/PCs that have ubiquitous DVD playback functionality. Might grab another one when I buy the bread and milk at coles next time.
    At $15 bucks it's a throwaway price, like a disposable camera.

    oops, my bad, homebrand/black&gold etc whatever their cheap line is called!
    ps or maybe we should call this 'Broden's Special' or 'Broden's Pick of the week'! lol

    I bought a cheap and nasty dvd player from Coles last year for $20… on clearance.
    It's still going strong.. it's about 11 months old. It was supposed to be a temporary replacement unit but my ps3 would not play my region 2 dvds from Amazon uk… so I still use it now.
    It is multi region (although doesn't say so on the box).
    Only thing I hate about it is that the remote control sensor is so weak I always have to get up close to make it work… Great for the couch potatoes as they will be forced to do sit ups from time to time ;p

    • MementoMori on 21/02/2011 - 08:40

      You may have already checked - but try changing the battery. It's probably a cheapie battery too.

    • shmahoo on 21/02/2011 - 10:41

      are you pointing the right end of the remote control towards the DVD player?

  • infernal_max on 20/02/2011 - 17:13

    the only downside to these cheap dvd players is if it dies on you, getting the dvd out is a pain in the arse, ive found that sometimes the cheap nasty dvd players have remotes that are easier to use, than brand name players.

      No problem - a cheap coles screwdriver will do the trick - make sure its unplugged first - or if impatient you can use a hammer!!

        I like the idea of a hammer - get the kids involved and tell them it's a pinata

  • Ashlea on 20/02/2011 - 18:05

    May as well go for a drive down to Coles and grab one. Don't have a DVD player on the TV in the study.

    Was it Plenty Rd or Spring St?

      It was the crappy one in Spring Street. They were on the front end of the far right aisle in the store (near toilet paper)..

          Nearly everyone I know does. I hated it even more when I lived out that way. :P Too many potheads and people who think they're loaded because their income just makes the 6 figures mark.
