Would you buy THIS DVD player?

As part of a Spirited Away DVD release, Buena Vista Japan is releasing this:

Limited edition DVD player bundle edition- Comes with Ghibli DVD player (Chihiro edition) Price 19,800 yen For a picture of the DVD player, see: The acorn on the top is the remote control. (In October 2001 Buena Vista released a Disney DVD player bundled with the release of Snow White on DVD).

Would you buy DVD players like these? Could you envision saying to your spouse PASS ME THE NUT!?

That thing looks cool. I'd buy if it wasn't too expensive.

19800 Yen is about US$150. Good one for a kids room I suppose.

haha That thing looks sweet. Not sure if I would buy it though, looks a bit silly next to serious looking equipment probably. It would be nice to have and put in a child's room, or possibly a video game/pool room if you got one (wish I did).

the basic idea of the wood is cool, but this specific design I would not buy

I wouldn't buy it. It would look bad with the rest of my equipment and I'd feel like a loser everytime I used it! It could be a good design for a kids room, I suppose, but not out in the open in a serious home theater.

Interesting idea, but no thanks. I buy my equipment for functionality and quality and not for looks.

well said. i wouldn't want different shaped DVD player and receiver, because they won't stack up correctly. now, this might be ok for a child's room or something
