Bought a new portable DVD player last night . . .

I bought a Samsung DVD-L300 portable player last night, and I got it home and was .... drumroll please .... NOT DISAPPOINTED !!!

This thing will play ANYTHING I throw in it ... DVDs, CDs, DVD-Rs [even real old/cheap ones], JPEGS, Kodak Pic CDs, MP3s, CD-R/RWs....

The only thing it won't play is a "Region 0" Judas Priest Live DVD (it's not a bootleg, it was manufactured R0). But as soon as I pick up a 'universal remote' and tweak the region code on the player, it'll play that too, I'm pretty sure. I hafta use a universal remote because the remote that came with the player doesn't have numbers on it.

Besides, I'll need the universal to access certain easter eggs (ala Terminator 2).

What kind of remote doesn't have numbers on it?!?!

Except for the "0" aren't the number locations pretty much standard?

Anyhoo... congrats on a happy purchase

...I know, I thought it was kinda hinky too. No numbers, but it is on the remote for a DVD player, hence, theoretically, you might not need numbers...

...'less ya wanna region hack it....or watch the above-mentioned type of easter eggs...or find a (very) specific point in time on the DVD, I guess.
