Apex DVD players

[whitak24]

question for all of you out there:
Do you have any experience with Apex DVD players? I've been looking at reviews of them on epinions.com, and they seem to have performed well for the price. I'm looking for a cheap player, and the Apex line seemed packed with features for the price.
My question: have any of you owned one, and if so how has it been from a performance/durability standpoint?
thanks

i had the 600a with all the loopholes, when it first came out. The picture quality was below par on it, and i didnt really see the needs for the "benefits?" so i sold it.

I would recommend getting a better brand dvd player. I currently own both a toshiba and panasonic model. Both brands you can find in the <150 for a much superior player than the apex.

Don't risk your money on a subpar player. Whether it's the multiregion feature or the MP3 or the CD-r/w reading capabilities you want, there are better players for slightly higher prices that do all that. Make the investment. It's worth it.

i got a 600a also, it doesn't play some dvds, including Terminator 2: Ultimate Edition, and it has a little trouble with Star Wars Episode 1... thank god for my pioneer

thanks for the replies guys.
i'll probably go for something that's a little more expensive and a little better brand. as ucbstan says, it's probably worth the money.
but due to my recent car problems, i probably won't be spending money on electronics for a least a couple weeks....

What did you think of the Region Free Pioneer player I got in the other thread?? It pretty much does the same thing. Regionfree, Macro disabled, VCD, SVCD, CD-r, CD-rw, MP3 (with a great navigation system - one of the few systems with random play) and it's a highly rated quality Pioneer player. I'm not sure what your budget is, but you can get it for $299.
