My aging Denon DVD player, excellent in its day, pretty much died of old age. It was refusing to play most disks which was getting very tedious. I toyed with the idea of replacing it with a Blu-Ray player but to be honest there isn't much content I care about in Blu-Ray yet and I think the prices are still too high so I bought a $100 LG DVD player as a stop-gap. I love it! Sound and picture quality from DVD are excellent. It happily reads all my MP3 disks and plays many kinds of .avi files. What is really, really cool is that it has a USB port so I can play stuff off a Flash drive. I just watched the first half of Gloucester vs Wasps from yesterday's EDF Cup games downloaded as a torrent earlier today. The first three things I've tried on it are the last couple of scenes from Peter Grimes on DVD from the Met, the Gloucester/Waps game and now Billy Bragg and Dick Gaughan singing The Red Flag. I guess that pretty much sums me up!
