Just broke down and bought a Toshiba A-2 for $199. Our DVD player was getting 'weird' (technospeak for having to reinsert a DVD a couple of times before it would read it properly.)

I was going to buy a less expensive, normal DVD player until something changed in the HD vs. BR war, but for $200, I figured I might as well say "what the hell".

I know it's the gimped model as far as some features go but I'm not the type of guy to do any more with a rented movie than watch the movie. I haven't looked at an 'extra' since DVDs started coming out.

Came with three free movies too, but you don't get to pick. Oh well, I get to enjoy it right away without pushing the immediate total price over 200.
