Introduction
With HD DVD and Blu-Ray on the horizon, it’s no surprise that companies are starting to sell regular DVD players at all-time low prices.

“Despite what people are saying, this is a good DVD player and I have never had any problems with it whatsoever. If you wanted a fancy one with all the bells and whistles, then you should have not bought a budget one under 100 bucks.” More...
