At the moment I don't have an Mpeg4 DVD player and I am really looking into getting one this summer eventually. It's this or the phillips. I read reviews at videohelp, everyone seems to rate this higher. Anyone tried this out personally? The store sells this and the phillips for the same price.

it plays divx/xvid, other mpeg4 stuff, some qpel, etc. its chipset is apparently better than the phillips one, the picture quality is supposed to be nicer, and odder formats are supported. and unfortunately i dont have $300 laying around to buy an xbox, get a chip, etc, etc.
Well I got the philips dvp642 and it's a great dvd player. it wont play qpel or gmc but most stuff around don't use it anyway.
It plays zillions of different kinds of cds and dvds no prob I've tried about 10 different cdr's and about 4 dcdr(w) with no problems. Its the best $60 i spent.

I could of swore they updated the firmware so it could.

You don't need to outlay for a chip. Just get it soft modded. With these DVD players you never know whether the company will support it with firmware upgrades when there are new evolutions of xvid/divx. With an xbox and xbmc there are literally updates on a daily basis
A quick search online suggests you can easily get an xbox for under $150
Seriously. Its the only way to go. I bought an xvid dvd player and within a few months it was useless when groups started using Packed Bitstream. Never ONCE had a problem with my soft modded xbox.
