Daily Deal: DVD player on the quick...and cheap

Sometimes you need home electronics on the cheap. Maybe you're all set to watch your new Audrey Hepburn DVD collection and your old player decides to bite the dust. You're not about to brave the cold or the Circuit City parking lot two weeks before Christmas to find another one. What are you gonna do?

Start by checking out this daily deal: CyberHome's compact CH-DVD 300S is just the kind of affordable (some would call it a "starter player") that'll get you watching the antics of Holly Golightly without a hitch. You get everything from top-of-the-line progressive-scan component-video outputs to built-in MP3 decoding, JPEG image viewing, and 3:2 pulldown for viewing movies in their native frame rates. All for a ridiculous $24.99 (plus $4.99 shipping). You'll find it elsewhere for $59.95.

Makes no difference whether you're already outfitted with the latest HDTV on the wall or still watching the old analog boob tube -- the CH-DVD 300S stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. And cheaply, too. This deal lasts through midnight, Monday, December 17. Get out your little black dress and make the date to snap this baby up.
