Sony DVPNS725P Progressive-Scan DVD/CD Player
Another Negative -- Don't Buy Sony!
I bought the DVPNS50P, the mid-level player of which this appear to be the replacement.  I chose the Sony rather than a cheaper brand since I believed Sony to be reliable, and figured if I bought the cheaper brand, I would end up paying for it in the end.<br /><br />As is frequently reported in the comments, the player just up and quit, would simply show the start up screen, and the buttons stopped responding, a little over 30 days after I bought it.<br /><br />This is not the bad part.  The bad part is the service.  Sony says my product qualified for its \\"replacement\\"program, rather than repair, under the warranty.  This means I had to ship it to somewhere in Texas, at my own expense -- they supposedly have a \\"discount\\" arrangement with the UPS store -- $20.  They claim they've shipped it back to me, but I haven't received it yet.  So far, it's been 17 days!
