SONY DVP-NS300/B DVD Video Player (Black)
More of a rant than a review
Since it's practically impossible to find VHS tapes anymore, I finally broke down and got a DVD player. So this one was my second DVD player in a two month time period. At first, I bought a Phillips player, which worked on half of one movie and nothing else so I returned it and got a Sony, figuring Sony would be better. Well, this Sony player is better (hence the extra star)...it played a whopping 6 movies before it broke on me. (the insert area broke after a month and I had to pry it open with a paperclip) And the 6 showings weren't even that great. I had just bought Planet of the Apes and the player would always shut down at a particular spot of the movie and return to the beginning--I coldn't even fast forward through the movie. On one of my TV's the picture would always go from bright to dark, bright to dark. <br />So this time I'm gonig to dish out the extra $$ and hopefully get a DVD player that works.
