Deal is alive as of 10/20/08 - just got one from my local Costco (90250)
Specifications
Courtesy of blunty:
The 5992 firmware version: 37.08.51.25
High bitrate mpg files plays smoothly on the 5992.
A non-powered generic 2.5" enclosure and my fat32 format hard drive was recognized and accessible.
Ntfs external non-powered drive was not accessible.
The 5992 powered off appears to power the usb port.
Remote control is more responsive than the older units.
FF and RR also p'wns the old units.
This Costco unit does NOT include the HDMI cable.
Really? Since when? I just got it yesterday. I need to get my $10 back. Thanks, OP!!!
Looking for a good DVD player for my HT. Is this good ?
This is the best Philips DivX-capable player. It has real USB2.0 interface (comparing to other Philps models)
wow, this is confusing. I just got the 5990 model from bestbuy for a good price after $20 Rzone and coupon. I just went to Philips site and I see no difference between the two. And don't say WMV because the 5990 plays wmv. this is weird.
Ok just called and they are the same exact machine. just different model numbers. But $40 with no coupon is definitely the best deal so go for it.
Nice find, OP. $6.50 cheaper than I paid for the DVP-5990 at BB yesterday.
ya i got the 5990 at WalMart for around $59.99 about 3 weeks ago...gonna return it if it indeed is the same player...are you positive all features are the same>???...i tested 5990 and it works great...usb 2...reads .vobs from USB drive....wmv files and divx all play great
can anyone confirm once again?
i know...that's what the website shows, but clearly on the box, when i got it, it says USB 2.0 and .wmv playback...exactly what it says the 5992 does...so, that's why everybody is confused..
Question. Does the USB allow you to play movies from an ext hard drive? I am not real savvy on DVD players although the upconversion would sure be nice for my 65" Mitsu. Another thing I dont "need"
I think your Mitsu already doing a good upconversion. That feature is more important for low-end TVs. And yes, you can play back movies from external flash or hard drives (FAT32, powered from wall adapter).
Or external drives based on the 2.5" Notebook Hard Drives. I have the 5982/37, and an 2.5" external drive will be juiced by the DVD Player. For an external based on the 3.5 desktop drives, you'll need to plug it in the wall.

May be Philips has made some improvement, but so far you are the 1st who reported workin 2.5" ext. drive.
I have been waiting for a good deal on this dvd player for a while. Can someone post the link, I couldn't find it on costco's website. Is it available in all cstco stores.
Thanks.

My 5982 works with a 2.5" external disk enclosure w/o seperate power supply, but the disk i tried it with was only 11GB. Haven't tried anything bigger. Maybe it depends on the hard drive volume.
Can this player also upconvert DivX video to 10820P from USB drive?
Got one from BB last week. I'll return and get from costco. Thanks, OP
