I hit this a month or so ago....was trying to check a few DVD's I had already burned, wondered why they wouldn't play....then remembered they were PAL format. Since my older DVD player doesn't always want to work, thought I would check around for the APEX or Cyberhome.

No local stores in southern NJ carried the APEX or Cyberhome....not Walmat, Target, Sam's Club, Staples...only the bigger name brands, which were region 1 only. I finally checked Boscov's a NE chain, they had a Coby DVD628 for about $50. It's worked fine, plays NTSC and PAL DVDs with no noticable problems.

Just thought I'ld mention it, in case anyone else can't find an APEX or Cyberhome, try a Coby.
