Because they're not going to hand me $500, they're going to get me a gift that costs as much as $500.

I'm not stressing about video quality. I've got a 27" CRT, after all... which only has an S-video in.

I am curious about the responsiveness of the player. My Toshiba SD1600 is very slow to respond to remote control commands. I don't know if this is just the way DVDs work, or whether other players are faster. Playing DVDs on the computer seems more responsive, but that could be just because DVDs are more suited to mice than directional pads.

I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!
