$29,000 DVD player (1 Viewer)

[MikeSh]

We bought a new DVD player Wednesday. It is a very expensive model, the silly thing ran us 29,000 USD. The package it came in is really nice though. It came wrapped up inside of a new Toyota Sienna van. It has 2 IR headphones, does widescreen, plays through the JBL 6-speaker stereo system and I don't know what all else it does. Gonna have to play with it some more.

The Granddaughter just loved it today. She is 20 months and doesn't like to ride in the car too well. She did enjoy Lilo&Stitch today though.

For that price, I hope you got the wrapping in the color you wanted

 

[MikeSh]

We did, it's Silver.

Wow, that's $7k more than this one:

Now THAT was funny!! I needed that...

For $29,000, it had better not have the chroma bug.

 

[John-Miles]

Yeah i second that chroma bug statement Keith

just curious now, did the player come free witht he vehicle? or is it built into it?

 

[MarkHastings]

and you only bought one!????



p.s. If I install my DVD player into the wall of a house, does that up the value by $250,000?

p.s.s.

just curious now, did the player come free witht he vehicle?

Maybe the vehicle came free with the player!

John asked:

You have missed the key point here. The vehicle came free with the DVD player.

 

[MikeSh]

The vehicle was free with the purchase of the DVD player.

I already had 2 dvd players so the wife said I only needed 1 more, that's my limit.

A little more on the DVD unit, it has an 8" LCD screen, will handle 2 wired earphones as well as the IR earphones. It will let you hook in a game boy type unit. It was "made" or at least sold by Audiovox. The controls and on-screen menus remind me of my Panny RP-82, so it might be related.

Didn't notice any chroma bug either.

Gabriel,

Is that a vibration dampening magnetic suspension mass I see underneath that $22K player in your photo?

If it is, Mike will need one of those mass gizmos if he plans on occasionally moving his DVD player into the van for long trips and then playing DVD's while going down the road - I guarantee it - no matter how good the suspension is in that new Toyota van.
