Lex_Diamonds · 2003-11-14 11:12:52

OK dunnes dont actually make it, but if you collect 14 tokens shopping there you can get it for 19.99. I only heard the ad. on the radio so im not sure of the spec. Maybe someone can enlighten us?

You have to spend a LOT of money over a few weeks to get the tokens required to get the dvd player for 20 euros.

14 tokens @ 50 euros each = 700 euros
+ DVD player @ 19.99 euros= 719.99 euros

it's okay if you do acutally do your shopping in dunnes but other than that it's highway robbery.

also if the DVD is out of stock they give you 60 euros of dunnes store vouchers. what a rip

if you are looking for a good cheap dvd player power city have a region free 5.1 surround sound dvd player for 59 euros.

It's 6 token's before the next two weeks (if you have the 6 before the two week's are out, you can get it) or if you dont spend as much shopping, 8 token's in the following 4 weeks or whatever then you can get it.

It's not 6 tokens in the first two week's, then 8 tokens the following 4.

So, if you get the 6 token's within two week's, it will cost you :
€50 x 6 = €300 + €19.99 = €319.99

or, if you dont get 6 within two week's, collect 8 within the next 6 week's :
€50 x 8 = €400 + €19.99 = €419.99

Considering the average family (well, my family) spends between €100 and €150 per week in Dunnes/Tesco, it shouldn't be too hard to get the 8 token's within the next 6 week's, without having to buy crap you dont need.

I spoke to my friend in Dunnes and asked him to get me a product code and a few token's. I'll get back to ye if I get the code... and the token's.

So, still selling for 60 yoyo, I've been thinking of getting a stand alone dvd player as the ps2 sounds like a harrier jump jet taking off. Reckon this one is the way to go, or are there any other suggestions?

Not sure how good it is or not, people here were raving about the Scotts DVD player in PowerCity which was 69euro but thats now sold out, PowerCity have still one for 59euro. Anyone know does the Dunnes DVD player match up to the Scotts one??

The Ronin is a nice player I must say.
I'm quite impressed with it.
Actually must check to see if it will play RCE discs.
