Cheapest basic media player (With USB)

nanolimit · 20th November 2010, 10:47 PM

What would be the cheapest Media player (doesnt need to do HD) around? Cheapest I've been able to find is the WDTV mini ($59).

Just need basic RCA with the ability to attach a USB drive. Wouldnt mind something that has built in Wireless, but can live without it.
Also not worried if its a non-name brand, or even a dvd player with a USB on the front of it.

Its just for my kids to put their movies/ tv shows on (all SD content) so nothing ultra special is needed.

WD Mini is a nice piece of kit.

Get one from Officeworks/DSE (I think they have 14 day no questions asked return policy), so if you aren't happy with it, you can return it.
