This is what's going to get me... first I need the DVD player, then a new
(bigger than 13") TV, then I'll be looking for a bunch of movies. I suspect
that the titles I will buy will be more likely the classics than any new
releases... my brother finds them in pawnshops, since its a laser if there
are no visible scratches it should play like new. Cost is often under $10,
almost cheaper than paying the theater admission around here.
