Poor Man's Media Center - Philips DVP642 $63

I think this has been around a while, but for $63 delivered from Amazon, (compare other prices here) this is the easiest, cheapest way to get a nice flexible media center going. It uses the Vibratto II ES6698F, like the Kiss player, and plays all the normal DivX type files you'd expect at this point. At the price I just don't think you can go wrong.

If you don't have a PC in the living room, or if you don't like having fan noise in the living room, this particular player might be just the thing. It's certainly a simpler solution than a lot of things, and cheaper than any of them.

Formats:
Movies: DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, VCD, SVCD, MPEG-4 and DivX 3.11/4.x/5.x
Music: CD, MP3-CD, CD-R and CD-RW
Pictures: Picture CD (JPEG) with music (MP3)

Turning it Region-Free

Power up, open tray, and press 7, 8, 9, OK, and then 0 on the remote. 0 should appear in the lower left of the screen. Close the tray. reboot and you're done. That's all.
