I've had one of these since Xmas and know several people who have one or two. They're not top-of-the-line, of course, but mine's been working well enough. The remote is a pain to use, but that's my only complaint. Certainly can't argue with the price.

I'd be leery of this one. I've had two, and both have died horrible deaths in a very short amount of time.

The first one died in less than a week, so I was able to return it and get it exchanged for the second. The second died five months later with a disk still inside of it. That was outside of the 90-day warranty, so I was SOL.

I don't know if I just got two from a bad batch or what, but I won't buy another 300S.

Though I will admit, while I did have it, it was a wonderful little player (it's region-free through a hidden menu). Get the extended warranty if you buy one, though.
