1. They are very slow, so if you think it is not working and you are staring at a blank screen give it 15/20 seconds to do whatever it is doing.
2. My one seems very fussy about HDMI cables - with the first cable all I could get was the 'Phillips' greet screen then a blank blue/black screen with sort of rays from the right. With the second cable I could get nothing, the Samsung TV (2 year old fairly standard model UE40K5500) recognised something was connected to the HDMI port when looking at the Sources. So I tried a third cable and that worked fine straightaway.

Received mine this morning, done the multi region DVD hack (as above) and can confirm that it works perfectly. Tried a Region 1 DVD first, wrong region message (as expected), performed the hack, checked setting had gone to 0, turned player off/on, inserted Region 1 DVD and started to play as expected.
Cracking little 3D Blu-Ray player with multi region DVD hack for £30! Finally I can play my imported DVDs again after my last player died on me.
Glad I bit the bullet on this, cheers OP.
My player came with System SW 1.11 (didn't update)
Model name is listed as BDP2190/05
Region Code now displays: BD(B) DVD(0)

That is really bad, it is up to Argos to put a limit on how many you can buy to stop capitalist greed and profitering from spivs.

I had the code and ordered from 5 sellers and code worked fine.Just order over £30.00.
Out of 10 ebay accounts in the family I was the only one who got the voucher code.

It was a code given to selected eBay accounts I think. It was the first I've had in a long time. I just added this and a Wii U starter set to take it over the £30 from Argos.

The OP's Deal is 1p shy of £30?. :-)
Would you still get your £15 discount considering that minor technicality then?, or .....

I'm not sure but my email said:
Shopping on the eBay app just
got even better. Save when you
spend £30 or more using the app
before 07 July 2017
Which sounds like today as the last day. Either way I'm happy with a 3d blu ray player for £15.
