DVD player for 200

I have a friend looking for an inexpensive DVD player. Has anyone compared the 200 dollar players?

It has gotten surprisingly good write-ups, and offers good features including progressive scan. The Apex is made in China, and is one of the technology-based products that China is introducing into the US at dirt-cheap prices to gain a foothold in our market. I was inclined to dismiss this product as junk until I read several reviews which had very positive comments about its build and video quality. My local "Good Guys" store (or maybe it was "Circuit City" was advertising the Apex for $110 this past weekend.
