I've had one of those cheap ones for the bedroom and it broke after 6 months of hardly using it. I have bought another cheap one that also plays .avi files and it broke after 3 days, got it replaced for the same model and that's been working for 1,5 years now mainly playing .avi and xvid's. So its hit and miss for me. They can work but not always. Its hooked up to a small tv so I don't feel like buying an expensive player for quality since I won't notice it.
But my main player is starting to act weird (philips model). Plays cd's just fine but it doesn't recognise alot of dvd movies anymore. I have to try it with a drive cleaner to clean it or else I'm going to have to hunt for a new one.
