New DVD Player

Today, I entered the world of digital movies and purchased a DVD player (the Phillips DVD707). I also picked up some movies (yes, I know some of these are terrible): City Hall, Contact, Outbreak, The Princess Bride, Pump up the Volume, The Shawshank Redemption, Soldier, Thunderheart, and With Honors.

The first thing I noticed is that you don’t have to rewind DVDs. Of course, I knew this, but I’m so used to thumbing that rewind key that it didn’t register until the player got confused. Now, to figure out how to keep the DVD player and the PlayStation plugged into everything all at the same time.
