It is probably safe to say 3-5 years because new technology, generations, etc... My old one couldnt even play mp3, cdr, vcd, etc

anyone have the MTBF on any DVD players? i'd be interested in this data.

anyways, i got a good reasonably priced dvd player 1 1/2 years ago and it still works fine. i'm not gonna replace it until a) it breaks b)i get an hdtv (which would justify a progressive scan player).
