I would suggest buying a local DVD player... Coz branded DVD players have various protection like region protection etc. And if u want DIVX playability, u have to spend more.

Most local DVD player would play various formats including divx, no protection at all, spare parts are easily available, and cheap. Buy one with USB port.

Earlier I found some good reviews about Passion DVD player here in TDF also I have a close friend who bought it some time back and he doesnt have any problems as such. It has DivX support and USB support as well. It costs around 1.5 K I think. Maybe you can give it a try.

Only local brands will be available below 1.5k which are good but for some time. Buy a branded one which will cost you minimum 2k. One more thing if Intex is available in 1.5k then go for it.

@OP: If you have not already bought one, I have a seldom used, box-packed MoserBaer DVD Player with USB and memory card support for sale second-hand. Actual Price is more than 2000/-. I will sell you for Rs.650+shipping. If you live in Mumbai , we can meet somewhere and make the exchange.
