Only brought it before Xmas for £100, better not let the missus see it.


Like it's been said, it'll still work in 2years and the discs won't have turned to dust now Blu-Ray has won.

Bourne and Transformers are superb!!!

Well we have Sony and their bribery to blame

Let's face it it certainly wasnt the consumer that made the choice
