DVD player finally cheaper than DVD software

It seems that 9 pounds (about 2150 yen) DVD players are sold in the UK. I am surprised that this is cheaper than the famous movie DVD software.

It is such a price that you can not think from the beginning when DVD players were released.

Details are as follows.

According to this article, a large UK retailer named Asda under the umbrella of Walmart has released a DVD player that is inexpensive nine pounds (about 2150 yen), cheaper than the DVD software of a big title movie.

The DVD player is produced at a factory in China, but because it is too inexpensive, we have audited four times a year last year to see if we are in violation of some ethical regulations regarding factory working conditions and payment rate Although it received, it was said that there was no problem. And the suit produced in Bangladesh in the same way is released for 19 pounds (about 4500 yen).

By the way, these unqualified products are manufactured based on the policy "built-in obsolence" which means that you can effectively disposable one year later. A similar example also suggests that some cell phone manufacturers offer inexpensive mobile phones that can be disposable as they are after a certain period of use.

Will somewhere be released in Japan ...?
