Disney DVDs-Soon to be released or Already Out

We're in the process of replacing our Disney VHS tapes with DVDs when they are released but we're keeping the VHS tapes as we have a VHS player in our van rather than a DVD! Times change quickly!

Too quickly for my pocketbook

I just got The Fantasia Box set with Fantasia, Fantasi 2000, and the Fantasia Anthology Supplement, it's awesome, I know it has been out a while, but my old roommate had them and I moved out recently, so I wanted them for myself. I recommend them to everyone.

You do need to do this. I am sure you know your tapes won't last forever, and before long, you won't even be able to buy a VCR. I hope you have started collecting DVD's, expecially the Disney ones that go into the vault and will be gone for 10 years. DVD players are soooo cheap now, no reason not to.

Yah, I am a procrastinator on this subject

Yeah - but the cheap ones break fast, I've known plenty of people at college that get the cheap ones only to have them break right as the return period expires. And I've found that VHS is still more resiliant than DVD - even minor dust can affect DVD's play but VHS is pretty oblivious to that. Still, with everything now coming out on DVD only [or ltd VHS] it will be hard to be DVD player-free soon...

Since I know so little about them, can anyone suggest which one to buy...brand name, etc.? I get confused when I go looking. I would actually like one that is ultimately built into the TV as opposed to having one to hook up. Thank you in advance for your suggestions

We have a Sony, for some reason the ones built in Japan are better built than the ones made here. If you can find one from a Japanese or Asian company go for it.

If you also can get one with the surround sound, it's a bit expensive but it is worth it, (The ship battle in POTC was really nice with surround sound)

That would freak out the neighbors who live downstairs, so I better pass on surround sound until I buy a place of my own

But thank you for the information on the brands, I will look around this upcoming weekend.

Definitely upgrade and don't go cheap - our first DVD player skipped constantly - brand new DVDs out of the package would skip! Invest in a good one, we have a Sony dual (DVD/VHS) that has worked out great and I threw the Samsung cheapo model in the trash.

I am leaning towards Sony, they seem to be the one most people have recommended to me in the past as well. Thanks for your imput.

My hubby bought one of those really big subwoofer things. When he plays things like the POTC battle, it rattles everything. When he first got it, I came home from work one day and the light fixtures on the outside of the house were rattling, and we don't have a really small house. I can also feel the floor vibrate when I am upstairs and he has something playing rather loudly. I know guys think that kind of stuff is cool.

LOL, I can see it now, your neighbors were thinking there was a earthquake!

I went out and got National Treasure today, did anyone else get it? I actually liked that movie

it was entertaining!

I recommend the box set of Fantasia if you can find it. It comes with Fantasia, Fantasia 2000, and some nice bonus materials on the third disc.
