That thing looks ugly as sin. D:
I seriously wouldn't buy that.
Chou @ Sep 26th 2007 2:32PM
Really? I think it has real retro-aesthetic value!

You wouldn't buy it based on the look? What if it was $50 and supported DivX/XVid, VCD, h264, etc? Still not? Must be an apple-fanboi then.
Jesse @ Sep 26th 2007 6:30PM
No, I just wouldn't buy it.
I demand to know why a person just can't like something, without being labeled as an apple or microsoft fanboy. What the Christ, I have every right to dislike something if I very well don't like it.
And I wouldn't care what it supported. I just-wouldn't-use-it.
Got a problem with that?

I think its actually pretty sleek

So you're saying you prefer looks over functionality. On a device that, when it is operating, shall not be visible due to the overwhelming darkness of the room. If I sneakily switched this DVD player with your own while you were watching a movie, would you notice the difference? No, not until you turned the lights back on.
I somewhat agree with you for things like cell phones... I would no longer use a BrickPhone (tm) from ~1998. That is not only a fashion argument either; better features, battery life, call quality, etc. have been shoehorned into smaller and better designed packages these days.
But for things like DVD players, I am confused when people claim looks matter over functionality... if it's the best performing item in its price/performance range but looks like crap, buy it and stick it behind a cabinet door or something. Your viewpoint is a difficult one for me to grasp.
