Hmmm. I'm going to buy a DVD player soon (promised my sister I'd do it in time for the next FoTR release) and I'm trying to decide if I should get a regular one or one o' them there fancy region free ones. I don't know that I'd ever get UK DVds but I do ahve family living there. I dunno. I know some of you have DVD players. What did you get?
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

'Ouise, I got a basic Panasonic DVD player. I thought about getting a hackable DVD player, but I decided that I'm just not that obsessed, nor could I afford to buy all the DVD from the previous season, that are available.
This is my DVD player. I bought it for $248 on sale, but I think that's the regular proce now. I have no complaints with it.
It does look like you can get a region free on Ebay for fairly cheap. I would ask in the Tech thread what model of the Sampo is the one everyone has. I think it's the 611, but I am not sure.

We have a JVC DVD from Ron's TV and VCR in Dartmouth. It wasn't expensive at all and we've been happy with it so far. It's just a regular one, not a multi region one. Like Sue, I couldn't see myself affording to buy DVDs from Europe so I didn't really seriously consider buying a multi region player.

Thanks, I'm really leaning towards a regular DVD. I just feel like I'm letting down the side by being insufficiently geeky. Maybe I'm compensate by putting some tape on my glasses.
By the way, Elena, my friend's name is Joanne, not Jane. (from Press) Thanks so much for adding the picture - I'm just sorry we couldn't all be together in it.

Um, wasn't there a post from me about screwing up the HTML? Where did it go.

Thanks for all the fish.
Ouise, I'm sorry. I'll change it right now... Joanne, Joanne, Joanne.
My DVD player was a gift from my folks. It is probably not multi-region.
Heh. Nora said she was going to talk you into it.
Also, how noisy is the Velvet Olive of an evening? Because I want to be able to chat. Any thoughts on where to meet?

I think the Olive is pretty quiet during the early evening. Doesn't have comfy chairs though. Did anyone know of any hotel lounge type places?

Thanks for all the fish.
The Weston has comfy chairs, but it's far away and the lounge is more of a lobby. What about the Prince George? Or the Delta Barrington? Anyone?

The Prince George has a very small lounge as part of their restaurant. It's okay, but not very cozy. I don't know about the Delta Barrington. I don't think they have a lounge, jsut a restaurant.
How many of us are coming anyway?
