Sony DVP-NS575P/B Progressive Scan DVD Player, Black
Lasted 16 months.
Bought this brand new from Amazon for around $79 in September 2004.  Watched many movies with no problems.  Then January 2006, just stopped playing DVD's.  VCR's seemed to last forever, these DVD players seem to last a year or so.  I've been through 2 Toshiba's, a Panasonic and now a Sony.  There's gotta be a DVD player that lasts more than 2 years somewhere.
