I had noticed that the Apex machines do get great reviews and incredibly cheap. Yes, I'm not looking for it to be a CDP, got one of those, I just want a while in a blue moon mp3 player and might use it occassionally for a rental DVD. Since I don't have a hi-end TV, S-video is fine.
At these prices points, it's nearly a who cares type of thing. If I don't like it, I've got plenty of kids that would gladly take it off of my hands.

Yeah, the Apex was a sort of impulse buy for me too - cfraser 18:02:08 06/21/02 (0)
after I came home, checked on the web to make sure it wasn't a complete dog, then went back and bought it. At the time there was a reliability/DOA issue on some models, so I got mine at the Wally Mart, a place with a no questions return policy, JIC. I planned to do a "bobwire" on it, but in fact have never even opened it up...unusual for me.
Besides giving a "reject" to your kids, also consider one for your parents (preferably a working one, be nice). I'm giving my RP56 to my parents when the RP82 comes in. Older people seem to find the DVD's a lot less hassle than VHS tapes, even more than we do; my parents ate up CD's when they saw how much easier they were than cassettes. They're at the age where you have to give them "new" technology, they never choose it themselves...
