I think there are actually 3 versions.
With the initial one you had very funny operation when using DVD. I.e. you had to push Go multiple times. That was fixed maybe a year or 2 ago. I think they also added DVIX. The audible feedback came end of last year, in the US they are still selling off the models without.
The initial version seemed to be somewhat picky with some DVDs which is something I havent noticed with my new one.
So I would definitely recommend getting a later version.
