i once got out cabin fever to show it to my mates. i think that movie rocks. anyway we had put it on the dash of my mates ute on the way home. He is a crazy driver and doesnt slow down for corners. so we got the dvd went in to watch it...and it wasnt in its case...it had fallen out of its cover going round a corner and had got scratched to **** on the floor of the ute. i ended up being more angry not seeing it that night than having to pay to replace it. stupid easily scratched dvd's. putting them in the fridge doesnt work either.

The Philips DVP 520 - It'll play anything I throw at it, has great picture quality, is easy to convert to region free and comes in at under 50 quid.

(UK peeps can also buy them in Tescos when they're getting their oven chips)
Sorry to say I've just swapped this for a Sony. Nowt wrong with the player itself, just didn't like the noise the tray made.

ok i searched pet peeves...and this thread appeared, so here goes.

I recently picked up a 2 disc "ulttimate collection" of the Fifth Element..so i go to disc 2 and its loaded to the max in featurettes..except there is no option to click play all...and many of the "featurettes" are skimpy at 3 minutes here and there..and well its a pain in the arse.

thats my pet peeve of the day.

I must be lucky - over the years and years of renting dvds, I've only ever had problems with two. Monsters Inc(from the library) and can not even remember the other one, from an online rental.

Monsters Inc was scratched, and the other was snapped down the middle(probably due to the post/delivery).
