DVP462 vs DVP462/37?

I am considering buying the phillips dvp462 player but on amazon there are two products listed when I try to search for dvp462 (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/104-3721372-2177554).

Is there a difference between the first two products listed in the link?

i searched amazon.com for "dvp4624" and the first two products I see listed:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000204SWE/qid=1124749776/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-3721372-2177554?v=glance&s=electronics&n=507846

the second product is actually called phillips 462/37.

from what i can see, the phillips 642, the first one, is not region free, it seems play region 1 dvds, in other words, american movies, while the second one, the philips 642/37 says it region free. i would recomend buying the first one for its low price since i own one myself, its not region free, but u can hack it to be region free, its really easy, i just did it myself today, because i just bought the waterboys dvd, but i couldn't watch it because it was region 3, and the philips 642 only plays region 1, so i found a website that can change the dvd player to be region free and play all movies, so i would recomend buying the philips 642 to save money, and you don't have to buy it on amazon, just go to a best buy store and get one, (that's where i got mine). if you want to make it region free, i can give u the website, but it works fine if you just want it for wacthing dramas that you burned down Smile

hello, for those who have used this, can this thing play PAL dvds (i think it is region 3 right????)? and can it play dvd mpeg iso, which is .mpg files (both vcd and svcd) stored on a data disc? Thanks for your help!

Phillip 642/37 is available at Walt-mart ~ $57. I had it for while and decided to return it. Beware that divx playback only work when you create dvd with 4X writing speed. Anything faster than that (8x or 16x) you will have problem. The playback will freeze up. It is strange I always thought that the playback is a function of bit-rate of the video files not how fast the files were written on there.
