it is better to get a dvd player plus it has extra features such as playing mp3's and vcds. were going a lil off topic dont you think:)

simply for the new remote on/off button, 'cos i don't wanna have to walk across the room to switch it off when the rest of my hi-fi system can all be switched off by remote...kinda defeats the object otherwise :( That was definately the most important thing lacking on the last model, sooo glad they sorted it out :D
