But who wants to spend $3,500 on a DVD player?
Okay, okay....one of the players they recommend is $230. But I still have to wonder why a consumer should have to take his just-burned DVD out of his $400 recorder and put it in another player just to get acceptable picture quality?
If it's just a matter of cutting corners to keep the price as low as possible, I'd say that's the wrong approach in the DVD recorder market. DVD recorders are relatively expensive by nature. People who buy them are not as dollar-conscious as, say, those who are still using VCR's. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks to get a DVD recorder that can give me good playback as well as recording. So it costs me 500 bucks instead of 400. In the grand scheme of things, that's not such a big deal. I just wish they'd do it right.
