Amazon UK is selling Philips DVP762.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006M5UT8

It's £70. A lot cheaper than DVP720SA which is £110.

And almost as cheap as DVP630 which is (or was) £60.

Any ideas of what DivX chipset DVP762 uses? Is it the same Mediatek chip as used in DVP720SA? If so it would be a better deal to get DVP762. It seems to have the same 108MHz/12bit Video DAC and 192kHz/24bit Audio DAC as DVP720SA only that it doesn't have built-in DTS decoder but that wouldn't be a problem if you only want DTS via digital-out port. Also DVP762 doesn't play SACDs (who needs them?) but it can play memory cards (cool?).

Is there anyway to know without opening the unit? Somebody just bought one from Amazon maybe I could ask him. :)
