Who's on the tag?
For anyone your gift list with an ancient DVD player -- you'll know, because it struggles to play anything but store-bought DVDs and can't even output progressive scan video -- here's a bargain. The Philips DVP642 DVD player not only does a very nice job of store-bought DVD playback, but also plays back all sorts of computer-generated discs including DVDs and CDs containing DivX video files, JPEG photos, MP3 music, standard audio CDs and video CDs. If you are buying for someone who has an HDTV with DVI or HDMI inputs, the Oppo Digital OPDV971H DVD player is an even better choice.

What's in the box?
The Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player, remote control, composite/analog interconnect cable and manual.

What's to like... or not?
Upside: Good quality, plays back loads of formats.
Downside: Not an upscaling DVD player. Remote not backlit. You'll also want to buy and include a component cable.

What's the damage?
$47.99
