Takes a lot more technolgy (Cost-wise) to make a decent head for a VCR. Obviously there are far more advanced components in a DVD player, but they are much cheaper to make. I mean, it is much easier to make a decent DVD player at a low cost, as opposed to a VCR.Comment

It is possible to buy a DVD player for £20. I saw a DVD Recorder the other day for just £50. Most cheap DVD Recorders are £50 to £100. A new Stereo sound VCR will cost at least £50 and a mono VCR will still be at least £30.Comment

Quite incredible when we remember the cost of a entry level player when DVD launched. I could have purchased a small home for the same $$Comment

They are definitely cheap, but cheap does mean cheap. Total throw aways when they act up."Wanted in 14 counties of this state.

But for the cost, why not just pick up a new one ! No worry about having to deal with warranty or customer service. Run down to the gas station and grab a 6-pack, newspaper, and a new DVD playerComment

Last Christmas Boxing Day (2005), Walmart was selling DVD players for about $27.00 Canadian ($22.00 US). I bought one for the kids to use (and destroy).
If I get one year out of it, it is worth every penny.Gary D
