Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Breaks easily
Although I liked the DVD player while it was alive, it broke after only 9 months.  When I called Philips, they said the \\"warranty\\" had expired, and it would cost me $15 to get phone support, not to mention the cost to get it fixed.  It's totally unethical for a company to design a player that breaks after only 9 months and then refuses to fix it. Buyers of Philips' products beware.
