Several places have a great entry level DVD Player, the Toshiba SD1600 I think Safeway/Lowe's grocery stores have this and there's also a Hot Deals thread (search for Toshiba) that has a .com place selling this DVD Player for $149 as well.

Other good brands are Panasonic and Sony.

As indicated above, the Toshiba 1600 is a great player. Mine has been working great over the past three months. I returned the Pioneer '333' to get the Toshiba and am quite glad of my decision. Also, Toshiba currently has a $20 rebate on this player.

If you have a Safeway near you might still be able to get the Toshiba SD1600 DVD Player for $119.

Before buying a DVD Player ask yourself if you want it to play CD-Rs, MP3s, VCDs, etc?

Sony DVD players SUCK

Get a Toshiba or Pioneer
Im getting the Pioneer DV-C603 5 disc progressive scan

Even the top of the line Sony DVD wont play anything but CD/DVD

well they may not but they do their primary job very well. I like the interface

I use the Pioneer reference series and it's exceptional. Had a Panasonic beforehand and find the Pioneer to be better in all ways.

The same can be said for Toshiba and Pioneer and just about every other "well known" brand. Ive had an RCA DVD player for 3 years and it plays every disc I throw at it no problem.
