Portable DVD Players Are Worth Looking At

It's that time of year, time to plan our spring break vacation with the kids. One thing is for sure, when we get them on the plane, they'll need tons of stuff to do.

Of course, one of the standbys has been movies and it is time for us to get a new portable DVD player. Our old one is so beat up, the DVD disc cover doesn't stay shut -- we use a rubber band to keep it closed and running.






This time, I'm looking into the Philips 8.5 inch portable DVD player that also plays DivX format DVD's so that I can load up a bunch of movies onto 1 single DVD-R and let it play until the batteries run out on the DVD player.

The one feature I like about the Philips portable DVD unit is that it has TWO output jacks for headphones, so now I can plug 'em both in and no one has to fight for the earphones and/or they don't have to fight when sharing the earphones - left for you, right for you....now both kids can have a full set for stereo audiophonic enjoyment.

We'll see if that solves the problem. Now I gotta load up on movies...
