you own a DVD player and have never ever bought a DVD disc before? You are one rare bird! Sure, most people rent way more than buy, but never ever bought even one? wow...
I remember clearly for the first two years I had my DVD player ( I bought in '97), I HAD to buy, there were no rentals available till mid '99 in my city. Ditto, for the new HD-DVD and BLuRay disc formats, no rentals available yet, even though these HD players have been out for over a year or more. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ann sanfedele Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 10:54 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: OT - for those of you who have DVD equip that can playPAL systemDVD's J.

I only have a DVD player so I can occasionally rent a film and view the two films I acted in or my photos are in. What was funny (haha funny) about the ebay listing was it started out saying "viva Zapata 1952 DVD" I wonder if teens know there were not any DVD's in 1952 ann > > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
