I love my Philips DVP642

Haha!  I once posted a thread complaining about the weightiness of my TV.  It was quickly derailed, but there's a few good responses near the end.  Sony Wega CRTs are damned heavy and will give you an instant hernia if you try to lift one.
I've read up on the wonder that is a modded Xbox.  If I was still into consoles and owned an Xbox, I would probably have modded it as well.

For now, I'll stick with my Philips DVP642.  It was relatively cheap and plays almost  everything I throw at it.

Next stop: media PC :)

If ever you do go the Xbox route, and if price is a concern, definitely don't go the route I went to get my Xbox modded... I had the chip installed by a guy I know, he also put in a hard drive. This is on the Xbox I bought at launch... Total cost of the drive, chip, install, original Xbox, and a different case (I bought a clear blue case) was around $500 (CAD). So, yeah, stick with the Philips :)

I remember that thread about the TV; I didn't post anything because I had no frame of reference. Great TV, despite it's weight. Mine is a bit stretched vertically (a couple centimeters), but that's barely noticable. I didn't get it delivered when I bought it... I actually had to lift it into my car, weight and awkward size and all, and then out and up my porch stairs, to the living room... My brother and I then moved it to a different room and then back again because we didn't like it's original positioning... I tell ya, I broke a good sweat that day.
