I remember when I paid $500 bucks for my first Portable DVD player. The idea of watching movies on a plane was so cool, and great for people who travel a lot. Now they're almost disposable devices for kids.
Now the digital copies that come with most Blu-ray discs seem far more attractive. Just bring your laptop or iPod along for the ride.
Still when these puppies come down to about $200-300, I might take another look.

Hah! I remember when they were 1500 back in early 1998. Even scarier is the fact that I new a couple of people who bought them at that price.
