I thought about that too, so I didn't buy a DVD player for a long time.
Once I did buy mine, however, I just bought the entry level Sony, which
has all the options I need (I don't plan to use mine as a CD player, or
to play mp3's or anything)
I haven't set out to replace all my VHS's on DVD. I've mainly
concentrated on replacing my favorite movies, and those that would
benefit from the widescreen and image quality benefits (typically stuff
like sci-fi extravaganzas)
I might replace a VHS if it wears out, but for now, the VCR still sits
right next to the DVD player :^)
