Thats why, when I saw what prices are now, I just decided to replace my dvd reader with a new HD instead. Our systems came with a dvd reader and also a dvd writer, for copying dvds, but we've yet to even try copying one in a year and a half. The wife's system is identical, so if we ever DO want to try it, we still can, and my system will be the main system now. We're on a network, so we can share the space, if we need to as well. (she still had about 1/2 here hd free!)

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
