: : : : : Good morning,

: : : : : For those of you still looking for DVD players (who isn't?) for TV, here are a couple of interesting links I've found.

: : : : : www.epinions.com offers people's "epinions" and ratings on a wide variety of products.  It's interesting reading and might help you select a product.  

: : : : : If you are looking for a low price, a website called Best Stop Digital finds the lowest price on the web, from which you can order your DVD player.  

: : : : : Although, I'm still taken with Kate's idea of getting one for the PC so she can grab pictures.  Decisions, decisions....

: : : : I went to Sears this weekend and bought a great Toshiba DVD player for $340.00  This little baby has everything!!  Dolby, DTS, etc, and a great slo-mo fowards and backwards, Zoom!, and alternate angles if the dvd has that.   This thing has everything for a realitively low price....GO GET IT!!!

: : : : Its model 3109

: : : Hi Norm --
: : : Toshiba seems to be a really good brand for DVDs at a good price.  I was looking at the next one down, the 2109, which seems to get really good reviews.  It's nice to know Sears carries Toshiba, because I would rather get it locally than over the web.  But I do have to do my price comparisons!

: : : Thanks for the info.

: : Yes, Toshiba is an excellent brand.  Many years ago I bought a small Toshiba TV for my bedroom. It has had water poured down it( while it was on!!)  dropped and all round roughed up.  It still works like a champ.  The color is still as sharp as th day I bought it. My JVC TV in the livingroom is just as old and the color is faded and all around doesn't perform as well.  I have since purchased Toshiba Stereos, cassette decks and now DVD players.  I'm totally sold on the Toshiba brand.  Next I will buy a Toshiba sourround-sound system.  This a great company with great stuff.  

: :   By the way, When does the LOTM DVD come out?

: :    Norm

: November 23rd.

: Toshiba makes great players, the 2109 and 3109 are both good entry-level players, and the new 5109 is awesome if you are willing to spend some more money.

: Panasonic's lower end player, the A120, is also good and should be available around $250 or less (around the same as the Tos 2109).  The lowest of the low, the sub-200 players by no-names, should still give good quality, but I feel you'd be better off with the Panasonics or Toshibas, the extra money is worth it (IMHO).

: www.earthstations.com is a good place to find the Tosh's and Panasonics.  I bought my Toshiba 3107 from them about 14 months ago with good results.  Also, http://www.sounddistributors.com/dvd.htm is suppose to be pretty good (though I've never ordered anything there, and they appear to be a bit higher priced than Earthstations).  And Onecall is also pretty good (http://sql.onecall.com/About.mpt?ProductLineID=6), they get good reviews for customer service.  With the Toshiba 2109, they offer 5 free movies, 20 total free rentals, a $10 off coupon for buying a dvd at dvdexpress.com , and a buy 1 DVD get one free from reel.com.  If you take advantage of all the offers, you are really well under $200 for the cost of the player:
