    How To Compare Prices On Code-Free DVD Players

  1. Step 1

    Determine how much money you are willing to spend and what your needs are. Some code-free DVD players offer up-conversion which allows normal 480i resolution DVD's to be watched at 1080i resolution on HD televisions, while others do not convert all DVD formats. Some code-free DVD players allow users to watch all DVD formats available, while others only offer the ability to watch select formats.

  2. Step 2

    Find a local electronics store that has code-free DVD players that you can test. Visit the store and take notes about the performance of the DVD players you find in your price range. Note the prices of DVD players at the store for later reference.

  3. Step 3

    Check reviews of code-free DVD players online. Professional reviews can be found at http://www.dvdbuyingguide.com/ and at Amazon.com. Check online forums like http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/12 to see what other consumers are saying about the performance of particular products.

  4. Step 4

    Check online shopping sites like Google Shopping to check prices of code-free DVD players. Search for the DVD players you liked in person, and see if the prices are better online.

  5. Step 5

    Check online classifieds sites like www.craigslist.org to see if someone is selling a code-free DVD player in your area. Most items on Craigslist are used, but some individuals and business sell new items as well. Buying from an individual could save you money.

  6. Step 6

    Consider purchasing a code-free DVD player from www.ebay.com. Ebay is an auction site that allows online merchants to sell items to users. New and used items of all kinds are commonly sold on Ebay by individuals and businesses.
