HELP ME!! Need deal on Personal DVD Player

[jsalba]

Looking to see if anyone can help me find a good deal on a personal/portable dvd player.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[LocaChica]

are you looking for a specific brand or any special features?

[jsalba]

I'm not really looking for a specific brand.... I just want it to come with everything I need to use it.... must have the monitor.

Thanks!

[LocaChica]

Do you have a price range in mind? They range from $250 to well over 1k.

I'm trying to help, but you gotta give me a little more info. work with me!

[jsalba]

Well, I really don't know much about them to be honest.

The only things I can think of are:

#1. Has to have everything included.

#2. Must have a monitor included/attached

#3. Must be brand new

#4. I prefer the slim versions but am flexible.

Not sure what else to add. I appreciate your help! Not sure if you noticed or not, but I posted in General Chit Chat that (s)he who finds me the best deal gets a $10 amazon.com stackable gift certificate.

Jeff,
thanks for the info! I'll be on the lookout. DH would also like to buy one so I'll see what he thinks about them. (he's the geek in the family) :b

I did notice that you'd give a $10 amazon gc for whoever finds the best deal. If it happens to be me, there's no way I'd accept. I'm doing this b/c I want to help.

Actually, my dad bought a Personal DVD player that is really cool, I cant remember any info. on it, but I will find it later.

Anyway, I am looking for a personal DVD player too as a Christmas gift to myself! Well, someone has to give me exactly what I want.

Hey to the two last posters, I should let you know ebates is handing out $10 bucks off target. plus cash-back stuff for 800 I think.

anyway, i will definatly post-up info on what my Dad has...

[jsalba]

Thanks to everyone for helping me out.. I really appreciate it. If you didn't see my post in Gen Chit Chat, I ended up buying two of them.. one online and one at Sears.

Buckeyemomma.... I used your target deal as it was the best one for me considering all that I was looking for.

Please let me know what e-mail addy you would like your gift certificate sent to.... and thanks again for the help.

[buckeyemomma]

THANK YOU!!! I have never actually won anything. I emailed you
Thanks again, but I was trying to help you. I looked as a favor to a friend, not because of the gc.
