I was using the PS2 which was horrible. I went out to Circuit City a bunch of DVD's that wouldnt work at my house or some of my buddies house. I tested 5 DVD players I had a sales rep connect to tv's for me (he was a cool guy). This is what I bought:

It was only 75.00.

The Samsung worked as well but it was an extra 105.00 and I like Panasonic:

The Sony DVD players wouldnt work for squat, I tried three different models with no luck. Oh well.
