Sony DVP-NS50P/S Single DVD Player, Silver
Only lasted 6 months
I bought the NS50 in June 2005 and it was a terrific player - for 6 months.  On December 26th it refused to read any disc I put in.  Discs it had played in the past, brand new ones out of the box, all the same message - 'Can't read disc'.  No one else was near the player; it just decided to die on its own.  I tried everything Sony recommended on their web sight except one; taking it in for service.  It's cheaper to buy a new DVD player than to pay for a repair.  I've heard of planned obsolescence, but this is ridiculous. <br /> <br />I've owned many Sony products over the years and been very satisfied.  This shakes my confidence in their brand.  I've replaced it with a Panasonic and will see how that goes.
