Well, after a few hours of play, this unit still works. I've been looking at buying this unit for some time but hesitated because many reviewers complained that this unit failed shortly after purchase and some failed on the first day of play. But for me, it's so far so good. It looks great-- slim, sleek and compact. It looks like it's worth more than the $40 I paid for it.
I was delighted to see that it could play the many DVD's I bought overseas that I couldn't play on my Sony because of region code and PAL/NTSC conversion problems. This thing plays them all! I was somewhat concerned that I had to do some programming to make it region-free, but it was region-free right out of the box-- no programming required!
I also threw a few DIVX, MPG, AVI, and WMV files at it. It found and played the DIVX and MPG (MPEG-1 and 2) files fine but refused to play some AVI files and all of my WMV files. Also, it could not read some of my burned DVD's, perhaps because of the Mac/PC hybrid file structure I chose to use. On the other hand, it seemed more tolerant of scratched or dirty DVD's as it played my damaged DVD's smoothly while my Sony refused to play them at all.
All in all, I'm quite happy with this little unit. Though it could not play WMV and some AVI files, it could play almost everything else. Response time in locating and playing video files was good-- as good as if not better then my computer's. The picture quality was excellent-- just as good as my trusty old Sony. It provided sharp, progressive scan picture through its three component video outputs.
As far as its reliability-- and this is my greatest concern with this unit-- I can't comment on that as I've had this for only one day. But in the day that I've used it, it worked very well. I'll come back and report on its reliability in about 6 months from now. Until then, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Doesn't read all Regions as claimed
Product claims to read all regions. I have a Region 2 dvd that it is not reading. Once the dvd player is on and connected to the TV with the HDMI connector, the phrase "WRONG REGION" pops up. Will be returning this item since I bought this player for the sole purpose of playing DVDs from other regions... which it cannot provide.
