We have ordered region free DVD players from World Gift Center and have
been very satisfied with delivery, etc.  I can't speak to their VCRs. 
One thing I have found in researching VCRs is that some multistandard
VCRs don't include a power cable, which is sold as an extra cost item. 
Best to check ahead of time.

Forgive me if I've missed a recent post on this, but I'm looking for 

current information regarding a perennial problem:

Our multi-system vcr just went out, and I'm thinking of replacing it
wi
th 
either a Samsung SV-5000W vcr with built-in converter (still available


from digitalmegastore.com, among others, for $308, though they may no 
longer be making them) or a multi-system vcr together with a separate 
converter (world-import.com, also known as World Gift Center, has a
combo
 
package for $429.99).

The separate converter claims to produce better quality video. I've
als
o 
noticed a couple of posts from 2004 warning against doing business with


World Gift Center.

Does anyone have advice about either of these or another solution for 
playing PAL and French SECAM tapes?

Thanks,
