Title: where?
Post by: lionken07 on July 05, 2001, 06:59:01 AM

I was wonder where I can get some cheap and good VCD player on the net (don\'t say ebay please).  I really don\'t need a DVD player that plays VCD just want a VCD player that plays VCD (that way it will be cheaper I guess) (since I got a ps2 I might as well use it as a DVD player.  Too bad it won\'t play VCD.)  so got any ideas?

I think Adan meant a software player whereas you were talking about hardware. :)

ahhhh! hardware???? Sorry, I thought you was talking about software players, like Power DVD...

In saying that, I believe I can be hard find one... a lot of DVD players can play VCD, mine can... and it´s a cheaper one.

If you\'re looking for a piece of hardware - a component that plays Video CDs - it will be MUCH easier if you just find a cheap DVD player that supports VCDs.  Your theory that a VCD-only player will be cheaper is probably not correct.  There are so many more DVD players around that your chances of finding a cheap one are better.  There\'s no market for VCD-only players anymore, so you won\'t find them very easily.

Another advantage:  Almost any low cost interlaced DVD player will provide much better DVD video and audio quality than the PS2.  Of course a lot depends on the quality of your television and amplifier.  If they suck, you might not notice the difference.

What have you got against Ebay?  If money is a factor, and you don\'t mind used equipment, that\'s the way to go, m\'man.  Believe it.

Go to playthegames.com and go to their VCD section. They got a couple for a little over $100. It\'s the cheapest I\'ve ever seen.

Just wanted to say that I\'m not too keen about the title of this thread.  I keep on forgeting about what "where?" is about and I have little input for this thread.  For the next time please make sure that something vital to the thread (ex. for this thread "VCD") is in the title.

Thanks.
