Not so long ago I remember having to save up for 
items like this. A DVD player for 30 quid is cheaper than many of the

Dude, the SCART standard just describes the physical connection and the function of the 21 pins. It doesn't describe the quality of the signal produced by the device and so is no guarantee of picture or sound quality.

What I should have said was more along the lines of chips being cheap. :-)

PS When will you support OneLineBios on your comments? ;-)
