Need recommendations: MP3/DVD/CD Players

I'm just planning ahead because I will be going on a road trip in the near future. I need suggestions on DVD/MP3/CD Players, but I don't need a screen right now, since I dont even have the money.
I wanted to keep below $200 and wanted something flashy atleast.

But I'm looking for something that:
Supports DVD-R's
Is all-region
displays Japanese subtitles
has a remote

I don't know if there are certain power things I should look for in the player, like how many watts it is, etc.

I've had a look on Ebay, but I'm always skeptical about the quality of the products on there.
Well, any suggestions would be appreciated with a link for the product info.

Thanks

Your budget is way too low for what you're asking. Unless you happen to find a used one.

Really? I've seen quite a handful for less than $150...
Well, how much do you think I'll be spending on one?

Well yeah you can get a pyle or a boss or some junk like that but for a decent one like a pioneer or alpine you're going to have to spend over 500 bucks. Maybe you can find a Japanese circa alpine on ebay.

i just bought a kenwood myself. having difficulty installing it tho haha.

yeah, pyle sucks from what i hear. hit up www.pricegrabber.com, they got some good stuff, or www.crutchfield.com. for under $200, DVD support for a decent player might be tough to find. read reviews. hope this helps.

Thanks meliketoyota.
I went to a Japanese Tire Kan a month ago and I remember seeing a Kenwood one that was $235 or so, but I have no idea if it'll work in my car, since its Japanese

when i first read the first post i thought the same thing...youre price range is way too low - but then again i wouldnt be surprised if prices were much cheaper in Japan than they are in America. One thing to keep in mind is to make absolutely sure that the radio/CD/DVD player is the right size for your dash - a buddy of mine ordered a "car CD player" online and it is not made to fit into the car, it is too small and has no place for brackets.
