I got this from Amazon for just under 50 USD.
Many vendors are still selling it for a lot more, and it used to be about 200 USD.
This is an awesome DVD Player, Sure it probably does'nt have all the bells and whistles as many fancier and more expensive ones but it has everything needed for watching DVD's and has something that the EXPENSIVE one's dont!
It plays DVD's from any region regardless if it is NTSC or PAL system.
I have some Swedish (region 2) DVD's and it plays them without problems.
the good part is that you dont need a Hardware hack, or change any settings- just put the DVD in the player and it just works.. So nice, so easy..
And for all the wannabe singers you can plug in your microphone and do some karaoke too..
I highly recommend this product

I just got the Akai 5851 on Friday. I bought it as a Christmas present for my parents. I picked up 5 dvd's from an Italian DVD website as well. The player worked great. I tested it when I got it because of the love it/hate it reviews here. All 5 dvd's worked fine. There was no distortion in the picture, no skipping, etc. Little tip though if you plan on buying this player. Do not connect it through your vcr. Connect it directly to your TV or a switcher box. I had it originally hooked up through the front ports on my vcr & the copy protection made the picture cycle between perfect to a dark crappy version & back again. I hooked it up to my pelican device switcher & that fixed that little problem.
The Italian dvd site is pretty sweet too. These are the titles that I picked up:
Something About Mary
Elf
Old School
The Green Mile
Life is Beautiful
They all had a perfect Italian dub & they all had the option of turning on english subtitles. The shipping & handling from Italy is pretty heinous though (about $40.) [...] The other great thing is that there are a pile of new movies like the Lord of the Rings, Spiderman 2 & etc. The only negative thing is that the whole site is in Italian. I had to get help from a cousin that was fluent in Italian to help translate.

Please don't even have a second thought of buying this piece of JUNK!!! This is the worst ever purchase I ever made.
Unit never worked, I got an exchange from vendor second unit had ghosting problem; Unit also didn't recognize Remote Control!!
Called for Warrant this time - No way to get old of Akai as there is no tech support or warranty place around in US.
Learnt a lesson, I will not buy or recommend anyone to buy this junk.
