Go to Circuit City or Compusa during a sale and buy the Apex. This
week Compusa I think is selling it again for $39. Cant beat Sears
though - theyve been selling it locally for $39 every week and even
went down to $34 this week after a small rebate.

Unfortunately, while the Apex players will handle SVCDs quite well,
I don't believe any of the newer models will handle VCDs at all.
