BuffyBot ,'Dirty Girls'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Uh-oh -- it's been delayed!
The price I've seen is $99.98.
That does it, delays are not good, and can sometimes last forever. It's Amazon.co.uk for me. I've heard bad things about the packaging (which at least looks appropriately Tardis-like) but at least the set is available, and for about $70, shipping included. Oh yeah, Region 2 and PAL--but that's what cheap, offbrand DVD players are for.
You don't need offbrand, Mikey. You can hack a lot of brands these days. I use a Philips.
Oh. I thought Philips was an offbrand. Hehe. I have one of those--it plays just about anything I put in it, unlike the Sony I used to have.
Philips? They're pretty huge. Who are on-brand for you? Aside from Sony, that is.
My previous player was a Sampo. That's some off brand right there.
From a Highlander tchotchke page:
"HIGHLANDER: The Source" logo embroidery on front chest and across back. Features inside pocket detail, zip front and slash-style pockets
If they only knew. Pockets are the *least* of it.
ita, Pioneer, Toshiba and Panasonic are what I'd consider the other majors. Not sure about Sylvania, RCA, Zenith and Magnavox, which used to be huge before the influx of Japanese electronics. Philips always had more of an audio/video geek cachet than the other majors to me.
My other player is a Norcent. I had two Cyberhomes--each lasted a year, and cost a total of $37 ($25 + $12 for extended service). I have a Presidian DVD recorder (from Radio Shack, made by LiteOn).
There's a subset of fandom that adores those Norcent players. They make great con DVD players, because they're easily portable and they play approximately eight million formats.
I've been having a lot of trouble getting my Sanyo to play a lot of stuff -- mostly vid sets and home-burned dvds.
I love my Phillips DVD player, as mentioned, it plays just about everything. I forget how many toasters I earned with it and my Firefly SVCDs back in the day.
TVShowsOnDVD.com just reported that Doctor Who has been picked up by Sci-Fi and that the 2005 DVD set will be released at a date by which the series will have aired, July 4th, 2006. The BBC has changed its Doctor Who splash page just slightly.
