Sony SLV-D300P Progressive-Scan DVD-VCR Combo
perspective buyer
I am thankful for all the reviews (the good, the bad, and the ugly). A few minutes ago, I WAS a perspective buyer-emphasis on WAS. After reading the reviews, I came to the conclusion that the good reviews were the exception rather than the norm.    Prior to reading these reviews, I went to my.sony.com and looked up DVD players. This one interested me because it's a combo (unfortunately, the only combo that SONY makes thus far). It's only by chance that I'm here. I am the thriftiest person that I know, so when I saw it for $145 at my.sony.com, my initial reaction was to compare prices with some of my favorite electronic stores. Not only did my jaw drop when I read the very first review, but I couldn't believe how much some people paid for this equipment! I am not dismissing the good or even the great reviews but the awful ones were hard to ignore. I am sorry that ANYONE had to shell out a dime and be treated with such disrespect. Is it possible that ALL OF YOU who purchased this product and got burned to take up complaint with the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU? It's just an idea. Thanks for the insight.
