No wonder Tweeter struggles...
I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    From the reviews, it doesn't look like it works that well, but the price does make a statement.

    Add promo code EMC424FASTA for an additional $10 instant rebate. PWN3d! ;)

    Seriously though, look how awesome the reviews are! 71% rate it as 1 star. That's a lot of stars when you add them together!

    I find it fascinating that we live in a world of 'disposable' electronics.

    I thought it was odd 5 years ago when I bought a $39 Sharp thermal fax machine for the house, just to have one - and the clerk at Best Buy asked me if I wanted the extended warrantee for $19. I told him no thank you, if it fails outside the factory warrantee, I'll just throw it away and buy a new one.

    Cheers,
    Russ

    Limit 20 per customer. Hmmm, what should I do with 20 DVD players? stock 'em for those Christmas white elephant parties, birthdays of not-so-close friends, or stack 'em high on the rack to show off.

    At least a couple of those POS will work if you buy 20.

    On the bright side, if all 20 are dead - you can start a massive bon fire...

    ahhh. yes disposable electronics... that's the buzz word these days... use if for 6 months if that. and throw it away then buy another one.. use it for 6 months, throw it away.. no wonder our landfills are full.

    but the sad thing is.. every day millions of people buy these things... only to be disappointed by it.. and think that all electronics are POS. Just think how many of them they would sell if the price was $9.99 ??

    You get what you pay for.

    Wow! Someone isn't paying the DVD royalty! Who was the DVD company who sold a ton of $25 players in Wal Mart a couple years ago? The CEO of that company was rotting in a Chinese prison for not paying the DVD royalty on those DVD players.
