Choice between a couple of Yamadas

Can anyone answer a couple of questions i have? :)

I have/had an old Yamada 6600 and i'm looking to upgrade now, its getting a little old and haggered. I love the way it plays virtually everything, but i have a few questions, some more stupid than others..

Is there any player that'll play WMVs etc? I assume only Windows will play em, but thought i'd check..

My main gripe with the 6600 was the way if you had a long-filename file, which happens a lot if you have a TV series in individual episode files, it would lose the plot and you'd be left with a fairly indiscernable gibberish - but most importantly it would list them out of order, and you'd not be able to watch them through in the right order. Do either of the players below have any fix to that problem, or are they going to have the same issues with long file names?


Yamada - DVDMI220X - Looks like the new in vogue player - much better than the 6600?
Yamada CHILLI YAMADA DVX 630 X - Is this thing any good or does it just look funky, and is its main gimmick being wall mounted, or is it actually a good player worth rivalling the 220?
http://www.3wisemonkeys.co.uk/proddet.jsp?id=1398&cat=5 - Yamada Chili 7200 - better version of either?

These are the two i'm looking at, they're both very cheap <£50, and look ideal, but if anyone has any other alternatives, preferably with a link, that'd be handy.

Just looking to know which i should be aiming at :)

Thanks guys :thumbsup:

is that the yamada 7200 with a USB port on the front?
if so, could you please try to play an avi through USB, either from an external HD or a pen drive, and let me know how it goes.
Also, could you see if the player handles subtitles stored in the USB drive as well, either in .srt or .sub format.
I'm looking for a dvd player that will let me play TV eps. without having to burn them to CD/DVD, and the USB port, if it works, would be just what i'm looking for.

Cheers, and TIA.
