DVD Players on The Rise

 

Our love affair with DVD players can more or less be explained by saying that cutting ties with the former fling (VHS) was costly, but worth the pain. In our article's situation, DVD players can really dredge our coffers deeply, but the results are definitely worth, based on players' sales and popularity.

Why go DVDs? 

Bonus sections in the DVD disk only whet the curiosity of buyers to go after these hi-tech players. Why wouldn't they, given the movie distributors' offer that the disk contains never before seen footages and special behind the scene features?

Movie viewing has really carved a place of its own in the home. We are able to rent DVDs through the mail and they come without hassle, and if we need blank disks for burning, DVDs are sold at local grocery stores. We have reached a point where everyone is able to afford a DVD-player. And so everyone has some sort of home entertainment system going.

What Cnet says... 

According to Consumer Search, "while the emphasis at CNet.com has gone to high-definition players, editors still cover some standard-definition DVD players."

Here are the latest release players from CNet, some belonging to high-def category, where all (except the Xbox at 8.4) scored a minimum of 8.3 points.
