Samsung DVD611 DVD Player
Good player at a good price
Like so many people, I could not wait jump onto the DVD band wagon.  The Samsung DVD 611 appealed to me being that it was made by a pretty well known company, (i dont know bout you, but I would at least pay a bit more than settle for a $99 apex brand) and a reasonable price.  I bought Gone in 60 Sec. along with it.  It played fine, beyond any expectations I have had.  One thing I noticed though, is that it skips every now and then.  I soon found out that dvd discs, that use dual layering will tend to skip upon transistion or transfer to another layer.  The only other thing, which doesnt bother me much, is it does not play cd-r's.  A small set back.  It plays perfectly, sounds great, and all for under $200 bux.  I have already recommended it to others, and they have the same praises as I.
