In Reply to: Toshiba SD 3109 DVD player ? DVD is not a film-lovers format? posted by petew on November 8, 1999 at 06:03:03:
You are right, the DVD is not really the film-lover's format, not yet, anyway. Out of thousands of good movies, very few are availble on it. But heck, you didn't pay $5000 for that machine either, so keep it and enjoy those few movies that you CAN find. There is a decent selection out there on web sites: 800.com, reel.com, buy.com, etc. Some are available at $10. Of course, some transfers are horrible, but man, what is $10 nowdays?The 3109 is fine machine. If you would like to get started, I could send you some DVD's to watch in the meantime (on a couple weeks of loan). I don't have all that many, but there are several good movies that I have, including the Ran and the super-mind-bending Pi. Let me know.
But definitely get the VHS machine too. A movie lover without one is like a teenager with no comdom in his wallet - he is bound to be quite unhappy.
