That sure seems way over the top to hire a DVD player.
No idea re Soft-comp but if there prices are high you may be better to jump in a taxi for $1 > $2 & go elsewhere.I am sure you will find somewhere at a reasonable price.There are also many signs stuck up around the place that advertise hiring of DVD players.Another thing most people find works is if you went into Soft-comp & said I can hire them for xxx from this place will you give me the same price.Most people say you can hire them at a far better rate if you don't organise it through your hotel.
I had a quick check in the archives & it appears that Star Disc hires DVD players out for 15,000 a night.This seemed one of the cheapest prices.The person that did the post got it from the Star Disc branch in Garlic lane just a few doors down from Indo-national restaurant.I believe they also have other branches of the store in Poppies 2 as well as Padma St.So I suppose it depends if you want to get out for a bit of a wander.
If I was you I sure wouldn't be paying much more than 15,000 > 20,000 a night since this seems to be a price that's easily found.
