I'm cashing in some Bellsouth reward points and wanting to get one of the DVD players. The choices don't really give to much detail but I'll list what I can. I need help in deciding which is the best or better than the other ones. #1 is the cheapest points and #6 is the most points.

**Also note that the links that are accosiated with these products may include more items or accessories that Bellsouth will give. I tried to match them up perfectly to the same models but Bellsouth doesn't give you any model information to make it easier to compare.

Your own eyes are the best bet.
I would read a few reviews so you can avoid any real turkeys, Google is your friend.
Then I would check out any the floor samples at your local big box stores.
That would be the only way to know with certainty.
