  Duration of ownership: 6 Months

  Strengths: Has USB port on the front, Upscaling

  Weaknesses:None

  Overall Evaluation: I have hundreds of movies and TV shows I have downloaded from the internet mostly in Divx or Xvid format. This playes them all. I use a $20 8gig USB stick and load up 8-10 movies at a time to watch without having to burn any disks! Also in the process of loading a whole catalogue of hundreds of movies and shows on a 1 terrabyte external drive to plug in the USB slot. Imagine having instant access to everything you own, for exampele, all seasons and episodes of The Simpsons, Monk, The Office, Twilight Zone, Columbo, I love Lucy, Kung Fu, Samantha Who...etc,etc. without having to load a single disk!I am tempted to buy a back-up in case they become unavailable.Lots of other features, good remote and the HD upscaling works nice too.

  Strengths: Plays almost anything you throw at it, upscales, USB connectivity and HDMI connectivity.

  Weaknesses:One video I tried to playback froze via USB.

  Overall Evaluation: I use this player as a secondary player and it serves its purpose. You can easily make this player region free and play a variety of video types (namely divx) without even burning a cd thanks to the USB connectivity. Did I mention that it upscales? This will make your standard definition DVDs look better on your HDTV and they will fill your HDTV screen, as opposed to having the two black bars on the sides. Last but not least, HDMI connectivity means less cable clutter.
