PLEASE HELP =] :o

Ask the buyer question about the memory build if it’s real 8Gb and ask him to appear this question and the answer in the item page,
If he did that makes you feel more secure to full refund if was not

can u put a link in and does it have a brand name on, if not dont bother as it will not be supported with updates and fixes, buy a branded and supported chine player

any, can u link direct please

The sellers description says:
Build in Memory Capacity 8GB (TESTED GENUINE MEMORY)

sorry, i dont know why the link didnt appear before
<http>

personally i would say dont get it

you can get fully branded chinese players at 16gb for 100$, and a 4.3" screen

basically for that price ($100) dont buy unbranded, buy branded players and NOT from ebay, some ebayers are ok but more oftent then not they are useless and know squat about player

would yo go for a 4.3" screen player with tv-out etc co mp4nation are bring one out with a special presale of 16gb for 100$!!!!!!!!!!

but look around first, 100$ can buy alot better branded chinese players

BTW

the player you linked

surely this is not going for $100 normally

basically its an unbranded new rockchip player and these can be picked up for less than $50 in various different body shells

oh coolies!
is it touchscreen?
and what is mp4nation? can u giv me a link please?

thanks a lot man,
you've been a big help

HOLY MOLY
its true
what id get from ebay for $300 i can get from mp4nation for $100!!

can someone please find me a good one with TV-OUT, touchscreen?

thanks.

there are several mp4 stores that see supported and branded chinese player, ebay is just too much hassle

www.mp4nation.net
www.mp4nation.net/forums

or

www.allpmp.com

are 2 that are trustworthy and that i have bought from

there are others also but i only list sellers i have actually dealt with as the web is a dodgy place at times :)

basically for you $100 you can get a much better player which will be better made and fully supported with uptaes and fixes, buying unbranded is fine but you do not pay more than $50 ish for one otherwise it s false economy IMO

cheers
