recommend a dvd player please

I don't have one, and I'd like to get one. Preferably new. Must be either region-free or openly support region-4 (which covers Australia).

Thanks.

Nowadays DVD players only make sense if you like watching material that's not available on streaming services.
I use a DVD player to watch opera recordings.

@helenS I hate streaming services and refuse to use those pieces of shit services like Netflix, Disney, Prime, Stan, etc.

@butterflybaby75 I have subscribed to Amazon Prime; I purchase movies I want to watch (I like older movies and "Arthouse" stuff).

@butterflybaby75 why do you consider them to be shit services?

@justanothername Because they are a captive market and once you're sucked in it's very hard to get away - I use to have Foxtel (Australian pay tv) a very long time ago and dumped it entirely after it started to introduce ads.

@butterflybaby75 ads are hiw they make money. Yes I’m familiar with Foxtel 👍
Streaming is the new pay tv.

@butterflybaby75 I guess you could unplug the tv and just do other stuff like read books. Lots of books.
