Wifey has been bugging me to get a DVD-P for the 65" HD Mits in the bedroom. I have been planning on waiting for High Def DVD so I could upgrade the Panisonic RP-91 (very good DVD-P) from the HT and move it to the bedroom.

Well, I decided I would get a cheapie DVD-P as a "stop-gap" measure. As cheap as they are now, I fugured I would consider it a "disposable" product while waiting for HD DVD.

Enter BB. I get the Toshiba SD-3980 for $49. 1st unit the tray wouldn't open. Returned it for the 2nd unit which I got no video. Returned it and doubled the cost and got a Sony. It works perfectly!

Moral of the story. I got exactly what I paid for with the cheapo Toshiba for $49! It cost me more in time and gas going back & forth to BB, and the agravation of boxing & unboxing, standing in return lines, multiple "trouble shooting" cables & hook-ups, and frustration with myself for thinking I would actually get a quality DVD-P for $49! That decision cost me about 4hrs of wasted time & agravation.

Whew! Now I feel better!
